Gospel Reflection:

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him,
“Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.”
Luke 11:1

In today’s Gospel we are given three teachings on prayer.
First, Jesus teaches His disciples what has come to be called “The Lord’s Prayer.”
Second, He teaches about the importance of persistence in prayer.
Third, He teaches about the fruit that comes from correct and persistent prayer.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Céad Míle Fáilte

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!

Many thanks for visiting our Parish website.
This site has been designed with three aims:

Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.

Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments

Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community.

We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.

We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life.
Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.

Feel free to e-mail us at edgeworthstownparish@gmail.com
