Satan’s Car Boot Sale Once upon a time, Satan was having a car boot sale. There, standing in little groups were all of his bright, shiny trinkets. Here were tools that make it easy to tear others down for use as stepping stones. And over there were some lenses for magnifying one’s own importance, which, if you looked through them the other way, you could also use to belittle others, or even one’s self. Against the wall was the usual assortment of gardening implements guaranteed to help your pride grow by leaps and bounds: the rake of scorn, the shovel of jealousy for digging a pit for your neighbour, the tools of gossip and backbiting, of selfishness and apathy. All of these were pleasing to the eye and came complete with fabulous promises and guarantees of prosperity. Prices, of course, were steep; but not to worry! Free credit was extended to one and all. “Take it home, use it, and you won’t have to pay until later!” Satan cried, as he hawked his wares. The visitor, as he browsed, noticed two well worn, non-descript tools standing in one corner. Not being nearly as tempting as the other items, he found it curious that these two tools had price tags higher than any other. When he asked why, Satan just laughed and said, “Well, that’s because I use them so much. If they weren’t so plain looking, people might see them for what they were.” Satan pointed to the two tools, saying, “You see, that one’s Doubt and that one’s Discouragement — and those will work when nothing else will.”

Prayer for Marriage and Family Life on 1st July
The movement of Continuous Prayer for Marriage and Family Life was begun in 1998 by Fr. Johnny Doherty, a Redemptorist priest, now stationed in Clonard Monastery, Belfast. The first day of each month is our parish day of prayer for Marriage and Family Life so our next day will be on Tuesday 1st July. Many parishioners have now committed to this prayer day which is organised in such a way that every hour of the 24 hours has at least one person praying. It is just an hour each month and participants are provided with a prayer booklet to guide them through the hour. The booklet focuses on various aspects of marriage and family life. The hour can be done anywhere so it is open to everyone, including those who are sick or housebound. Would you like to join? If you would, sign up sheets will be available today and in the week ahead, close to our banner for Marriage and Family Life located at the main altar. Please record your name, contact details and which hour of the day you would pray and we will provide you with the booklet.
