A message from Fr John
Posted on: 29/05/2020
Dear Friends
Apologies - someone sent some recommended reading and I accidentally deleted it.
More wisdom from the Desert Fathers:
A certain brother inquired of Abbot Pastor, saying,
‘What shall I do? I lose my nerve when I am sitting alone at Prayer.’
The Abbot said to him:
‘Despise no one, condemn no one, rebuke no one, God will give you peace and your prayer will be undisturbed.'
Om the other hand, I was just wondering ….
Do you think we might meet for a Poetry Evening - just a thought!
Maybe this Monday evening at 7.00pm - and maybe each participant could read a favourite poem - and maybe a poem about nature. What do you think?
I’ll open Zoom at 6.55pm and lock it at 7.02pm - no set time to finish but no more than an hour
Let us pray for those who are sick:
Evelyn, Adela, Winnie, Sylvia, Joe, Susan, Irene and Audrey
And for those who have died:
Fr Peter, Michael, Roy, Alf, Malcolm, Elsie, Matthew, Anne, Stella, Chris, Kenneth, Carol Ann, Ingeburg, Winnie, Patricia, Eileen, Maureen, Joan, Frank, Robert, Lynda, Cecilia, Lourdes, Dale, John, Eileen, Michael, Graham, Maria, Andrew, Gladys, Ellen, Patrick, Pauline, Michael, Alice, Gordon, Mary William and Elsie
St Joseph, guardian of this parish during these time, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
