Conversion to Christ
The writer, Leo Tolstoy, told about his turn to Christ in a book entitled, My Conversion. Tolstoy wrote, “[When] Faith came to me; I believed in Jesus Christ, and all my life suddenly changed. I ceased to desire that which previously I had desired, and on the other hand, I took to desiring what I had never desired before. That which formerly used to appear good in my eyes appeared evil and that which used to appear evil appeared good.” Before his conversion, Tolstoy had acquired fame and fortune through his great writings. But he was unsatisfied. “I fought duels,” he wrote. “I gambled, I wasted my substance wrung from the sweat of peasants and deceived men. Lying, robbery, adultery of all kinds, drunkenness was my life.” His conversion, one of the most dramatic of modern times, gave his life a new purpose, a new meaning and, he affirmed, an abiding satisfaction. All of us remember the story of the old alcoholic who ended his addiction. When asked about Jesus’ miracle of turning the water into wine he replied, “I don’t know about that, but I do know that in my house Jesus changed whiskey into furniture.” Many millions of people over the centuries have experienced that kind of change at the hand of Christ.

We had our January Parish Assembly meeting on Tuesday last where we looked back at the Christmas ceremonies - what went well and where things could be improved - your feedback is always very welcome.
We then looked forward to planning for busy times of St. Patrick's Day and Easter.
The big event coming up is the nominations for the next (6th) Glanmire Parish Assembly. Nominations will be invited this February. If you would like to be a member please be sure to nominate yourself or let a priest or member of the existing Assembly know or just PM here.
We also discussed the implementation of the rationalisation of Mass times as recently agreed accross our Pastoral Area. This is driven mainly by the lack of priests and vocations to the priesthood in our Diocese.
