KNOCK: The Story of Knock began on the 21st August, 1879 when, at approximately 8 o’clock in the evening, fifteen people from the village of Knock in Co. Mayo, witnessed an Apparition of Our Lady, St. Joseph, St. John the Evangelist, a Lamb and cross on an altar at the gable wall of the Parish Church. The witnesses watched the Apparition in the pouring rain for two hours, reciting the Rosary. Although they themselves were saturated not a single drop of rain fell on the gable or vision. There were fifteen official witnesses to the Apparition, most of whom were from the village of Knock and surrounding areas and ranged in age from just 5 years old to 74 years old. Each of the witnesses gave testimonies to a Commission of Enquiry in October 1879. The findings of the Commission were that the testimonies were both trustworthy and satisfactory.

NOVEMBER 2017; POPE Francis has inaugurated a “World Day of the Poor”. The First celebration of that Day occurs on November 19th. Pope Francis wants us already this coming week to reach out to the Poor around us. He writes, “It is my wish that, in the week preceding the World Day of the Poor, which falls this year on 19 November, the Thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time, Christian communities will make every effort to create moments of encounter and friendship, solidarity and concrete assistance.”
Pope Francis on November 2, 2017 –the Feast of All Souls — visited the American Cemetery of Nettuno and the site of the Ardeatine Massacre. He celebrated Mass at the site where 7,860 US soldiers are buried, arranged in soft arcs in wide green meadows under rows of Roman pines. The majority of these individuals died in the liberation of Sicily (from July 10 to August 17…

A Word from Pope Francis
Selfishness leads nowhere and love frees. Those who are able to live their lives as a gift to give others will never be alone and will never experience the drama of the isolated conscience. Jesus says something remarkable to us: “Greater love has no man than this,that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Love always takes this path: to give one’s life.
To live life as a gift, a gift to be given—not a treasure to be stored away. And Jesus lived it in this manner, as a gift. And if we live life as a gift, we do what Jesus wanted: “I appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.” So, we must not burn out life with selfishness. Judas’s attitude was contrary to the person who loves, for he never understood—poor thing— what a gift is. Judas was one of those people who does not act in altruism and who lives in his own world. On the contrary, when Mary Magdalene washed Jesus’s feet with nard—very costly—it is a religious moment, a moment of thanksgiving, a moment of love.
A NOVENA FOR JUSTICE AND HEALING IN THE CHURCH
SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 BY DAN BURKE
FILED UNDER ANNOUNCEMENT, DAN BURKE, FEATURED, HIGH CALLING, NOVENAS, PRAYERS, THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS
Dear Friends,
The Church is suffering. Victims are suffering. Faithful priests and Bishops are suffering. The laity are suffering. All of this suffering comes through sin, unbelief, and injustice. The answer to this crisis – the solution that every Catholic can participate in, that you can participate in, is to be a conduit of grace through prayer.
God has ordained that His grace and healing come through the prayers of His people. If we pray, that grace will pour out as a torrent of God’s love and healing on the Church. If we do not pray, that grace will not come – healing will be hindered – justice will be thwarted – renewal will never emerge. We at the Avila Institute and SpiritualDirection.com are committed to giving ourselves to prayer with you in this most troubling time. Will you join us in a novena to St. Thérèse of Lisieux for the healing of our Church?
This powerful novena will begin this Sunday, September 23, and end on Monday, October 1st which is the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux who said,
“Each time that my enemy would provoke me to fight I behave like a brave soldier. I know that a duel is an act of cowardice, and so, without once looking him in the face, I turn my back on the foe, hasten to my Savior, and vow that I am ready to shed my blood in witness of my belief in Heaven.” ~ St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

FORMATION & ORIGINS OF THE NATIONAL PLOUGHING ASSOCIATION
1931 – 2018
We can only guess at the number of centuries during which local ploughing competitions have been taking place, but records tell us of a match in Camolin Park, Wexford on 20th October, 1816.
On that occasion, a special prize of £5 was put up for the carpenter or ploughmaker who produced the best and cheapest plough made by himself and who contracted to supply the public with similar ploughs at the same price.
Between 1816 and 1930, ploughing competitions thrived between neighbouring parishes.
On the 16th February, 1931 nine counties met in competition on the “plains of Kildare”, Coursetown, Athy – the same venue of the 2011 National Ploughing Championships, the National Ploughing Association was born. The cost of running this first event was £9.3.5.
1939 – 8TH FEBRUARY – KILLARNEY, CO. KERRY; Accommodated cost between 4 pounds and 6 shillings and 9 pounds.
THE NPA TODAY
Now in its 87th year:
Event costs in excess of €5 million to run.
Ploughing Associations in every county in the country.
The biggest National Ploughing Championships in the World.
Over 320 competitors in the National Finals.
19 All-Ireland Ploughing Title Classes.
Ireland’s primary Agricultural Exhibition.
One of the largest Agricultural Events in Europe.
Many international visitors, exhibitors and delegations from right around Europe and as far afield as New Zealand.
An average of 300,000 visitors.
Up to 1,700 Trade Stands
Billions of pounds worth of the most modern agri-equipment in the World on exhibition at the Championships.
Still a voluntary association depending on voluntary efforts of our members from all around the country.
