A message from Fr John

Posted on: 25/10/2020

Dear Friends

Good morning - brighter morning but getting dark so early
Yesterday’s Gospel was the heart of Jesus’ mission and teaching - love God and your neighbour and you will really know yourself as loved and loving.
And so .. a little prayer to bring those elements together - not that there was ever any danger of them being separable!
God, in being one with you
We are one with each other.
You are in the other person
And though them speak to me.
By attending to the other,
Help me to grow in your love.
God, it is in you alone
That we can reflect the unity
That belongs to all creation.
We are one in you
And you, Holy One, are in us.
David Adam
Thank you for your understanding about the new programme of Masses across the parish. These are extraordinary times and they require extraordinary patience on the part of all of us.
Please continue to support the Food Bank
St Joseph, protector of the poor, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
