PARISH OF DRUMCREE Mission Statement: Our Parish is a Christ-centred community. In Baptism we are challenged by the Spirit to live and share the Gospel message. Through proclaiming the Gospel message to all, Growth in Faith, Liturgy, Justice Issues and Ecumenism we extend our love and care to all people providing support in renewing and deepening our faith. We value the gifts and talents of each of our Parishioners and invite them to use these in responding to Christ's invitation to all of us to follow Him and spread the Good News to the whole world. www.drumcreeparish.com St. John the Baptist Church, Garvaghy Road, (1777) - 1977 St. Patrick's Church, William Street – 1835 8th July 2012 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mass Times: St. John the Baptist Saturday 7 p.m. Sunday 8.30 & 11.30 a.m. St. Patrick's Sunday 10 a.m. Weekday Masses: St. John the Baptist Monday 10am Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Tuesday - Saturday 10 a.m. Monday 7p.m. (Novena - Miraculous Medal) Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Thursdays in St. John the Baptist Church beginning at 6 p.m. Devotions 1st & 2nd Sunday - October - June Confessions: St. Patrick's Saturday - 12.30 - 1.15 p.m. St. John the Baptist Saturday - 6.15 - 6.45 p.m. Baptisms: Every Saturday, 5 p.m. Registration for Baptism must be made in St. John the Baptist Church, after Friday evening Mass, two weeks prior to date.

Reflection What is this wisdom that has been given him? We say about someone we know well: Sure he's one of our own. One of our own; a sure way of saying we're proud of him - but we won't take him so seriously. That's what they were saying about Jesus of Nazareth. And others said the same: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Small-town boy with big-time dreams. How could he have any wisdom: Sure we know his sisters, his cousins. And that's where he got his wisdom, the wisdom each of us shares. Wisdom comes through ordinary people. We know we get some of our wisdom from our family. We pick up wisdom with the homemade scones out of the oven. That's how it is. One of our own. Maybe you've given more wisdom than you thought. The wisdom of Jesus is never too complicated. It's things like: if you want to be happy, see what you can give to others. That's how he saw happiness, and that's the full wisdom of Jesus. He saw it at home - in Nazareth, and he saw it in heaven. Places of love. We live by the wisdom of love, rather than by other wisdoms - like the happiness that comes from straight As in exams, or from our job, money, or physical appearance. Real wisdom is to be in touch with love in your life, and if you're in touch with love, you're in touch with Jesus.
