Reflection
God’s call comes to us in many ways and at many different levels. However, his call is not so much a voice as a tug at our hearts, which we feel at quiet and reflective moments in our lives. He is calling us to a deeper and more authentic life. He is calling us into intimacy with himself. He is calling us into community with others. And at death he will call us into eternal life. To accept means to admit our need. Jesus said, “Woe to you who are full now, for you will go hungry. But blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.” A sense of something missing in our lives is not a curse but a blessing. A spiritual hunger is God’s way of inviting us to his banquet.

Prisoner’s Sunday 11 October 2026
Prisoners’ Sunday is an opportunity to think about how we, as individuals, as a Church, and as communities, serve our brothers and sisters affected by imprisonment. Prisoners, people with convictions, and their children and families can find themselves on the margins of our society.
Yet Jesus challenges us: “I was in prison, and you came to me…”
Our work at Pact draws on the values of our faith: dignity, solidarity, and subsidiarity.
We believe everyone can make a fresh start, whatever they may have done.
Second collection
It is Mission Sunday next week and there will be a second collection for the Church’s Worldwide Mission.
