Making Decisions Prayer:
Lord, I turn to you for help,
that in your wisdom you might aid me in making the right decision.
I am unsure about what is best for me,
and at times I hesitate to pray for guidance,
not because I don’t believe,
but because I know that if I am honest with myself and with you,
I will be changed –
and that change unsettles me.
I am comfortable now,
and sometimes I am afraid of what you might be calling me to do.
Shake me from my comfort.
When I doubt my ability to choose what is right,
guide me in my discernment and point me
in the direction you want me to go.
When I turn to you,
I will always find the courage to choose faith,
the strength to choose hope,
the compassion to choose love.
I am not made or unmade by the things which happen to me but my reaction to them.
[St. John of the Cross]

Loop Hearing Aid System
Loop Hearing Aid System This system is now installed in St. Colman’s Church, Ballinderreen and in St. Colman’s Church, Kinvara. It will shortly be available in St. Joseph’s Church. It won’t however, be available in St. Kieran’s Church, Doorus as the Church is too small for it to be effective.
In order to avail of this facility please switch your Hearing Aid to the ‘T’ position.
Induction loop systems are invaluable in assisting hearing aid users to understand spoken language, particularly in situations where there is background noise.
Hopefully, this will be of great benefit to all hearing aid users.
