Salm le Freagra (Salm 144[145]). Oscla\u00edonn t\u00fa do l\u00e1mh, a Thiarna, agus s\u00e1sa\u00edonn t\u00fa sinn. An litir seo chuig na hEifisigh scr\u00edobhadh \u00ed ag P\u00f3l f\u00e9in, n\u00f3 ag duine \u00e9igin eile le spiorad an aspail sin go tr\u00e9an istigh ann. Cuireann s\u00e9 t\u00fas leis an litir ag meabhr\u00fa d\u00e1 l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed an d\u00ednit at\u00e1 acu mar chreidmhigh i gCr\u00edost. Rinneadh r\u00fandiamhra na r\u00edochta a nochtadh d\u00f3ibh. Is \u00ed \u00e9irim na r\u00fandiamhaire seo n\u00e1 sc\u00e9im D\u00e9 gach rud a thabhairt le ch\u00e9ile faoi cheannas Chr\u00edost, gach a bhfuil ar neamh agus gach a bhfuil ar talamh. Tr\u00ed bh\u00e1s Chr\u00edost chuir Dia deireadh leis an deighilt idir Ghi\u00fadach agus Gintl\u00ed, neamh-Ghi\u00fadach, leis an cine daonna go l\u00e9ir a thabhairt le ch\u00e9ile sa chreideamh i gCr\u00edost agus san Eaglais. An litir seo chuig na hEifisigh a scr\u00edobhadh faoi ainm Ph\u00f3il, seoladh \u00ed go dt\u00ed an Eaglais tr\u00e1th nuair a bhain an deighilt idir Gh\u00edudach agus neamh-Ghi\u00fadach le r\u00e9 a bh\u00ed thart, agus go raibh an Eaglais ag tabhairt aghaidh ar r\u00e9 \u00far ina raibh aontacht sna buntr\u00e9ithe riachtanach, sa chreideamh agus i gcleachtadh an chreidimh. Bh\u00ed tuiscint anois ag an Eaglais ar an misean domhanda a bh\u00ed aici, gurbh \u00ed sacraimint uilechoiteann an tsl\u00e1naithe agus r\u00fandiamhair aontacht an chine dhaonna le Dia. Ach n\u00ed f\u00e9idir gn\u00edomh sl\u00e1naithe Chr\u00edost agus foilsi\u00fa mh\u00f3r-r\u00fandiamhair D\u00e9 a chur chun cinn ach le freagra lucht lean\u00fana Chr\u00edost tr\u00ed bheatha ag teacht leis an r\u00fandiamhair sin. I sliocht an lae inniu baineann P\u00f3l feidhm as a ghairm agus a \u00fadar\u00e1s mar aspal, agus as a bhfuil fulaingthe aige ar son Chr\u00edost, le imp\u00ed ar a l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed agus ar an Eaglais in gcoitinne maireacht\u00e1il d\u00e1 r\u00e9ir sin, i dtosach b\u00e1ire ag \u00e1ireamh na tr\u00e9ithe at\u00e1 inmhianaithe, n\u00f3 riachtanach b\u00e1 ch\u00f3ra a r\u00e1, do phobal Cr\u00edosta\u00ed leis an aontacht sa Spiorad, faoi cheangal na s\u00edoch\u00e1na, a bheith acu. T\u00e1 gach a bhfuil san Eaglais ag gairm chun na haontachta: n\u00edl ann ach aon Tiarna amh\u00e1in, \u00cdosa Cr\u00edost, aon chreideamh amh\u00e1in, aon bhaisteadh amh\u00e1in.

I soisc\u00e9al Mharcais beidh an dara cuntas ann faoi iolr\u00fa buil\u00edn\u00ed (Marcas 8:1-10), ach i gcr\u00edch neamh-Gh\u00edudach, Ghintl\u00ed, agus go luath ina dhiaidh sin i Soisceal Mharcais (8:14-21) t\u00e1 sliocht craptha, le leideanna agus sliocht deacair le tuiscint do l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed an lae inniu.

I liot\u00fairge na bliana seo tugann an Eaglais cuireadh d\u00fainn machnamh den d\u00f3igh ch\u00e9anna a dh\u00e9anamh. In ionad t\u00e9acs Mharcais den mh\u00edor\u00failt, le c\u00faig v\u00e9arsa d\u00e9ag, san Aifreann don ch\u00faig Dhomhnach seo chugainn beidh malairt Shoisc\u00e9il againn, leis na l\u00e9achta\u00ed t\u00f3gtha a Soisc\u00e9al Eoin (Eoin 6:1-71), le seacht\u00f3 a haon v\u00e9arsa.

Ach mar sin f\u00e9in tugann an Eocairist chun cuimhne gach ar sheasann beatha agus b\u00e1s \u00cdosa d\u00f3: na b\u00e9il\u00ed a ghlac s\u00e9 leo si\u00fad ar an imeall, iolr\u00fa na mbuil\u00edn\u00ed chun bia a thabhairt do ocraigh, a ch\u00faram d\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a bh\u00ed caillte agus faoi m\u00edthreoir sa saol; a theachtaireacht agus teagasc a raibh mar aidhm acu br\u00ed agus treoir a thabhairt do shaol duine abhus; a ch\u00faram go maireadh daoine le ch\u00e9ile go s\u00edoch\u00e1nta agus go mbeadh acu a bhfuil riachtanach chuige sin.
T\u00e1 l\u00e1ithreacht Chr\u00edost l\u00e1rnach don Eocairist, a l\u00e1ithreacht r\u00e9alta. Cuireann Caitlicigh b\u00e9im ar L\u00e1ithreacht R\u00e9alta \u00cdosa san Eocairist, i dtaisce sa taibearnacal. Ach tugann an Eocairist chun cuimhne go bhfuil \u00cdosa i l\u00e1thair go f\u00edor i ngach cor den saol agus i ngach g\u00e9arch\u00e9im, faoi mar a bh\u00ed s\u00e9 leis na haspail, sa bh\u00e1d i rith na stoirme, in iolr\u00fa na mbuil\u00edn\u00ed, agus in \u00f3c\u00e1id\u00ed eile.
Ionann an Eocairist, agus tugann s\u00e9 chun cuimhne, gurbh \u00e9 \u00cdosa f\u00edor-ar\u00e1n na beatha. Th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 in\u00e1r measc mar ar\u00e1n na beatha, chun beatha a thabhairt agus chun \u00ed a thabhairt go fial.
Baineann an Eocairist le beatha a chaitheamh mar phobal, i gcomaoin le Cr\u00edost agus lena ch\u00e9ile \u2013 le t\u00e9ama na Comhdh\u00e1la Eocairist\u00ed i mBaile \u00c1tha Cliath le deireanas a lua.
Cro\u00edl\u00e1r beatha phobal na h\u00c9ireann thar na blianta ab ea an tAifreann. Gurbh amhlaidh a bheidh s\u00e9 amach romhainn, ag tabhairt deis d\u00fainn machnamh a dh\u00e9anamh ar l\u00e9achta\u00ed an Domhnaigh, ina bhfuil \u00cdosa i l\u00e1thair ag labhairt linn faoi mar ar labhair s\u00e9 fad\u00f3 sa Ghail\u00edl leis na sluaite a bh\u00ed mar chaoirigh gan aoire, ag m\u00faineadh m\u00f3r\u00e1n nithe d\u00f3ibh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
