Collection Envelopes—2021

and second collections next year. The envelopes have arrived and will be
available in the two churches from next weekend.
SVP Annual Appeal
This is going to be a completely different Christmas for everyone, particularly
for our SVP members and especially those seeking our assistance. It is usually
this time of year that that SVP Annual Appeal takes place and generally in the
form of Church Gate Collection but this cannot now take place due to COVID
restrictions. .
As donors may not be able to donate to our local Naomh Ronan Conference at
the Church Gate, they can now donate directly to your Conference in a number
of ways;
1. Donate locally on svp.ie/donate Donors simply need to enter your
Conference name or town name in the box ‘Specific location to help’ on the
donate page.
2. Donors can also donate directly to your Conference by calling 0818 176
176 (ROI) or 028 9075 0161 (NI). They simply need to let the person who
answers the phone know what town or Conference they would like their
donation to go to.
Thank You.

AN DARA DOMNACH DEN AIDBHINT
CÉAD LÉACHT
Sliocht as an fáidh Íseáia 40:1-5. 9-11
Réitigí cosán le haghaidh an Tiarna.
“Sólás, beirigí sólás chuig mo mhuintir,”
a deir bhur nDia.
“Labhraigí le croí Iarúsailéim agus fógraígí di
go bhfuil aimsir a seirbhíse istigh,
go bhfuil a peaca maite,
go bhfuair sí ó láimh an Tiarna
pionós faoi dhó ina cionta go léir.”
Tá glór ag fógairt:
“Réitigí cosán san fhásach
le haghaidh an Tiarna.
Déanaigí díreach thar an machaire
bealach mór dár nDia.
Líontar isteach gach gleann,
agus íslítear gach sliabh agus gach cnoc;
déantar achréidh de na hailteanna
agus míntír den gharbhchríoch.
Ansin foilseofar glóir an Tiarna
agus feicfidh an uile fheoil í in éineacht.
Óir tá béal an Tiarna tar éis labhairt.”
Suas leat ar shliabh ard,
a challaire an dea-scéala chuig Síón.
Ardaigh do ghlór go láidir,
a challaire an dea-scéala chuig Iarúsailéim.
Ardaigh do ghlór gan eagla,
abair le bailte Iúdá:
“Seo é bhur nDia.”
Féach an Tiarna Dia ag teacht lena neart,
agus a lámh ag smachtú roimhe!
Tá a luach saothair leis ina sheilbh,
agus a éadáil ag dul roimhe amach.
Mar a dhéanfadh aoire ag aoireacht a thréada dó,
ag bailiú na n-uan chuige ina bhaclainn,
á n-iompar ar chlár a uchta
agus ag fosaíocht na gcaorach tórmaigh.
Briathar Dé.
SALM LE FREAGRA Sm 84
Freagra: Taispeáin dúinn, a Thiarna, do thrócaire
agus tabhair dúinn do shlánú
I. Éistfidh mé leis an ní a déarfaidh an Tiarna Dia;
déarfaidh sé go deimhin lena phobal: ‘Síocháin daoibh!’
Tá a shlánú i ngar do lucht a eaglaithe
chun go gcónóidh an ghlóir inár dtir.
Freagra
2. Casadh ar a chéile an trócaire is an dílseacht,
phóg an fhíréantacht is an tsíocháin a chéile.
Eascróidbh an dílseacht as an talamh
agus bbreathnóidh an fhíréantacht anuas ó neamh. Freagra
3. Tabharfaidh an Tiarna fós an mhaith,
agus tabharfaidh an talamh a thoradh uaidh.
Rachaidh an fhíréantacht roimhe amach,
agus an tsíocháin i lorg a choiscéimeanna. Freagra
DARA LÉACHT
Sliocht as an dara litir Naomh Peadar 3:8-14
Táimid ag súil le spéartha nua agus le domhan nua
A clann ionúin, ná déanaigí dearmad den phointe seo, a chairde cléibh, gur
cuma aon lá amháin leis an Tiarna nó míle bliain, agus míle bliain nó aon lá
amháin. Ní dhéanann an Tiarna moill lena ghealltanas, mar a thuigtear moill
do dhaoine áirithe, ach tá sé foighneach libh mar nach mian leis go gcaillfí aon
dream ach go dtiocfadh cách chun aithrí. Tiocfaidh lá an Tiarna mar ghadaí,
agus scriosfar na spéartha de ruathar toirní; déanfar na dúile a mhilleadh le
tine, agus loscfar an domhan agus a bhfuil d’oibreacha ann.

amháin. Ní dhéanann an Tiarna moill lena ghealltanas, mar a thuigtear
moill do dhaoine áirithe, ach tá sé foighneach libh mar nach mian leis
go gcaillfí aon dream ach go dtiocfadh cách chun aithrí. Tiocfaidh lá an
Tiarna mar ghadaí, agus scriosfar na spéartha de ruathar toirní; déanfar
na dúile a mhilleadh le tine, agus loscfar an domhan agus a bhfuil
d’oibreacha ann.
Ó tharla go bhfuil gach ní le scriosadh ar an gcuma sin, cén sórt daoine
ar cheart daoibh a bheith maidir le hiompar naofa agus le cráifeacht,
agus sibh ag feitheamh le teacht lá Dé, agus á bhrostú! tríd sin déanfar
na spéartha a scriosadh le tine, agus na dúile a leá le teas. Ach táimid ag
súil, de réir an ghealltanais, le spéartha nua agus le domhan nua mar a
lonnóidh an fhíréantacht. Dá bhrí sin, a chairde cléibh, ós rud é go
bhfuil sibh ag súil leis na nithe sin, bígí go dúthrachtach le go
bhfaigheadh sé sibh gan locht gan cháim, agus faoi shíocháin.
Briathar Dé.
