Aifreann in Oceanside<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Ni raibh ach cupla la caite againn thall, ach \u00f3 tharla gurbh \u00e9 an Domhnach a bh\u00ed ann, shocra\u00edomar ar dhul chun an Aifrinn in Oceanside, i Halla St Margaret, Halla a bh\u00ed thart ar thuras leathuaire a\u2019 chloig uainn. Shroicheamar an Halla sin, in am tr\u00e1th, agus b\u00edodh go bhfuil an Halla c\u00e9anna sin bre\u00e1 fairsing, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, n\u00edl aon ch\u00f3ras aer-oiri\u00fanaithe ann, rud a fh\u00e1gann go n-\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00e9 diabhalta te, le linn na searmanas. Ar aon chuma, roghna\u00edomar fh\u00e9in su\u00edoch\u00e1in, thiar ag c\u00fal an Halla sin, rud a d\u2019fh\u00e1g, go raibh neart sp\u00e1is againn, agus n\u00e1r \u00e9irigh s\u00e9 r\u00f3-the ar fad, ag an am gc\u00e9anna. D\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, go raibh an \u00e1it l\u00e1n go doras, agus ba \u00e9 an rud ba mh\u00f3 a chuir ionadh orm fh\u00e9in n\u00f3 an m\u00e9id sin daoine \u00f3ga a bh\u00ed sa l\u00e1thair, agus n\u00edlim ag caint faoi ph\u00e1ist\u00ed anois, ach daoine sna d\u00e9aga agus sna fichid\u00ed, agus cuid mhaith acusan i mbun dualgas mar fh\u00e1ilteoir\u00ed, mar l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed, agus mar mhinistr\u00ed eochairisteacha, freisin. M\u00f3r idir sin agus an chaoi a bhfuil c\u00farsa\u00ed sna s\u00e9ip\u00e9il s\u2019againne! Rud eile a thabharf\u00e1 faoi deara, n\u00f3 an chaoi a raibh na cin\u00edocha \u00e9ags\u00fala measctha ar a ch\u00e9ile san aon phobal aontaithe amh\u00e1in sin. Canadh iomann. Buaileadh clog. Agus ansin, th\u00e1inig an sagart agus a chuid ministr\u00ed suas tr\u00edd an Halla, ar a m\u00f3rshi\u00fal chun na hAlt\u00f3ra.<\/p>

Fuair m\u00e9 amach, ar ball, gurbh \u00e9 an tAthair C\u00e1vana de Bhail\u00eds, an \u201cPastor\u201d, a bh\u00ed mar cheili\u00fara\u00ed againn, an Domhnach sin, n\u00f3 eisean an Sagart Pobail at\u00e1 acu sa Phar\u00e1iste sin Naomh Mhaighr\u00e9ad. An-sagart go deo isea an Beal Feirsteach seo, agus meas an domhain ag a phobal thall air. Chuaigh c\u00farsa\u00ed chun tosaigh go bre\u00e1, le linn an Aifrinn, agus ba bheag difir i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre idir Aifreann thall agus an tAifreann s\u2019againne. Thabharf\u00e1 faoi deara, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir, go bhfuil difir bheag idir Chomhartha na S\u00edoch\u00e1na thall agus an chomhartha a mhalarta\u00edtear abhus, n\u00f3 is minic a bh\u00edonn barr\u00f3ga agus p\u00f3ga i gceist acu thall, \u00e1it nach mb\u00edonn sa treis againne ach an craitheadh fuar l\u00e1imhe. Ar\u00eds, le linn an \u201c\u00c1r nAthair\u201d beireann gach duine den phobal greim l\u00e1imhe ar na daoine taobh leis, agus arda\u00edtear na l\u00e1mha ansin, faoi mar a arda\u00edonn an sagart a l\u00e1mha-san, ag gu\u00ed na Paidre diaga sin. Taobh amuigh de sin, canann an pobal iomainn, rud nach dtarla\u00edonn anseo go r\u00f3-mhinic, agus n\u00ed fh\u00e9adf\u00e1, d\u00e1r liomsa, a mhille\u00e1n sin a leagan ar an bpobal! T\u00e1 difir mh\u00f3r amh\u00e1in eile idir na hAifrinnt\u00ed anseo, agus na hAifrinnt\u00ed thall, agus sin go mb\u00edonn na hAifrinnt\u00ed s\u2019againne cr\u00edochnaithe, taobh istigh de leathuair a chloig, fad is a mhaireann na hAifrinnt\u00ed thall, thart ar uair a\u2019 chloig, ar a laghad. <\/p>

Cad is c\u00fais le sin? a d\u2019fhiafr\u00f3dh duine, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir.<\/p>

Bhuel, ceart go leor, cuireann na hiomainn le fad na h\u00f3c\u00e1ide, ach, s\u00e9 an rud is m\u00f3 a chuireann leis an am sin, n\u00f3 fad na seanm\u00f3ir\u00ed. Maireann an tseanm\u00f3ir thall, thart ar leathuair a\u2019chloig, \u00e1it a mhaireann bun\u00fas na seanm\u00f3ir\u00ed abhus, thart ar ch\u00faig n\u00f3im\u00e9ad, n\u00f3 mar sin. Bhuel, b\u2019in mar a tharla an ch\u00e9ad Domhnach a chaitheamar thall, ar aon n\u00f3s, agus anois, ar eagla go gceapf\u00e1, go raibh m\u00e9 ag locht\u00fa an Athar C\u00e1vana, caithfidh m\u00e9 a r\u00e1 anseo, gur thug s\u00e9 seanm\u00f3ir ar d\u00f3igh uaidh. Labhair s\u00e9 go d\u00edreach leis an bpobal, agus thuig s\u00e9 l\u00e1ithreach, go raibh ag \u00e9ir\u00ed leis dul i gcionn orthu. Sea, mh\u2019anam, agus n\u00edorbh \u00e9asca in aon chor an t-\u00e1bhar a roghnaigh s\u00e9 don \u00f3c\u00e1id, an Domhnach c\u00e9anna sin. Mist\u00e9ir na hEochairiste a bh\u00ed idir cham\u00e1in aige, agus an chaoi ar cheangail an Tiarna ithe agus \u00f3l, bia agus deoch, ar\u00e1n agus f\u00edon, lena l\u00e1ithreacht fh\u00e9in in \u00e1r measc, agus d\u00edreach mar a thugann bia agus deoch beatha don chorp, don tsaol seo, sa tsl\u00ed ch\u00e9anna, tugann fuil agus feoil an Tiarna beatha d\u2019anam an duine, don tsaol at\u00e1 le teacht. <\/p>

\u201cAmen, Amen, adeirim libh,<\/p>

mura n-ithe sibh feoil Mhac an Duine,<\/p>

agus a chuid fola a \u00f3l,<\/p>

n\u00ed bheidh beatha agaibh ionaibh.\u201d<\/p>

Sea, mh\u2019anam, n\u00edor fh\u00e1g an Tiarna aon amhras ar bith ar a lucht \u00e9isteachta, n\u00edor chuir s\u00e9 fiacail ann, mar ad\u00e9arf\u00e1, ach \u00e9 \u00e1 r\u00e1 amach go neamhbhalbh, suas chun a mb\u00e9al \u00e9! N\u00edl aon \u00e9al\u00f3 \u00f3n m\u00e9id ad\u00fairt s\u00e9 lena lucht \u00e9isteachta ansin. Bia agus deoch, fuil agus feoil, l\u00f3n beatha curtha ar f\u00e1il d\u00fainn, sea, bia don aistir, bia don saol nua spiorad\u00e1lta a bh\u00ed \u00e1 gheall\u00faint aige d\u00e1 lucht \u00e9isteachta. Fanfaidh cuimhne na seanm\u00f3ra sin liom go ceann i bhfad, geallaimse dhuit \u00e9, agus sin, c\u00e9 go raibh m\u00e9 ag cur allais go tiubh, i dteas neamhghn\u00e1ch an Halla \u00fad Naomh Maighr\u00e9ad.<\/p>

Caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il, go ndeachaigh a sheanm\u00f3ir i gcionn go m\u00f3r orm fh\u00e9in, ach go h\u00e1irithe, n\u00f3 b\u2019fhada an l\u00e1 \u00f3 chuala m\u00e9 a chomh-mhaith de sheanm\u00f3ir. <\/p>
