St. James' Church Bushypark Galway

In our hunger for love, God offers the nourishment of his love for us; a love which is total, the total acceptance that each of us yearns for.
In our hunger for wholeness, wanting to know we are forgiven, God offers the nourishment of forgiveness, inviting us to leave the past behind where it best belongs-in his compassionate heart.

In our hunger for meaning, God offers the nourishment of the word and life of Jesus, and we know, in all our confusion, that we are not lost.

And in our desire to do good, to create a better world for people, to live in the cause of justice and peace, God offers energy and new hope. We know he is on our side, and we work, not on our own but with him.

In our desire to live in love, forgiveness and reconciliation, he offers the energy of his risen Son, and in our hopes to care for those we love, children and family, friends and the poor, he offers energy from our friendship with Jesus.

In the Bread of Life, the Body of Christ, God gives food for the journey. In the Wine of life, the blood of Christ, God gives energy for the journey.

As we are nourished with this Eucharistic food and drink, we know we never journey or walk on our own.
