A message from Fr John
Posted on: 04/10/2020
Dear Friends
Good morning
Time is a little tight today and so just two thoughts:
Look up Pope Francis’ latest encyclical - Fratelli Tutti - which came out yesterday. We’ll have chance to look at it more deeply later.
Keep on praying in your secret place - your heart. St Ambrose was very clear when he said, ‘This room of prayer is with you at all times, wherever you go it is a secret place and what happens there is witnessed by God alone’.
Please pray for Declan whose funeral we celebrate today. Pray too for his family and friends
St Joseph, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
