Yesterday’s Fine Gael four MEPs issued a statement in which they expressed concern that the West Limerick refinery – a major employer in the region – might be fuelling Russia’s war in Ukraine. Reports suggested that alumina which is extracted from bauxite at the plant, is being exported to Russia, where it is eventually used to support Russia’s war cause; the company has denied this. Jerry spoke to one of the four MEPs, Kilcummin’s Sean Kelly.

Pentecost is one of the great feasts of the liturgical year and brings to a close the season Easter where we celebrate the manifestation of the Holy Spirit into the church and the need for the church to go out into the world. In part one of this weeks podcast we go through the up coming liturgical odds and ends as well as flagging some up coming events on the calendar for local listeners in West Limerick. In part two, we share a reflection from Word On Fire Ministries where Bishop Robert Barron focus on the fifth chapter of St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians, where you find what Paul calls “the fruits of the Spirit,” which he contrasts with “the works of the flesh.” Maybe you're struggling and wondering, “What should I do? What path do I take?” Whatever is giving rise to the fruits of the Spirit in you is the path you want—and whatever is giving rise to the works of the flesh, stay away from. In part three as always we pause and reflect on the Sunday gospel which is from taken from the gospel of John (John 20:19-23) and is John's account of the appearance of Jesus to the disciples in the Upper Room after the Resurrection, the Giving of the Spirit and John's account of the Great Commission which we also heard about in last Sunday's gospel from Matthew. Local dates for the calendar:30th May - Fundraiser for the Dominican Community in Limerick with a concert at Greenhills hotel with music by Jimmy Buckley.6th June - All Ireland Rosary Rally at Knock10th - 12th June - Triduum to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at Robertstown Church in St Senan's Parish on N69.19th - 27th June - Limerick's Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the Redemptorist Church in Limerick city11th July - Limerick Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock24th - 29th October - Limerick Youth Pilgrimage to Assis and RomeText us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com
