Reflection
The deepest wound of all is that which affects the heart: The feeling that one has not been loved, that one is not precious to anyone. Many people today are wounded at heart. Each of us can do something to heal their wounds. We have hands that make things and minds that can understand things but above all we have hearts that can give life. We are not sterile people, we can give life to people who are inwardly broken. We can show them that they are important and so bring life to them. Today, Good Shepherd Sunday, is also vocations Sunday. But all vocations are vocations to love.
First Communions
Please pray for the children making their First Communion this week:-
Nelly Jamrozy, Maggie Briscoe, Elizabeth Dewsbury, Dana Ogbonna Nzadi and Rafael Fecheta.
We ask God to bless them and their families.
Parish meeting
As part of the process of implementing the Diocesan Pastoral Plan, we would like to hear the views of the Parishioners on the six points that are part of the plan.
There will be three meetings over the next three months to discuss two points at each meeting. We would invite the Parish Team and anyone else interested to join us for the first Meeting on 15th May at 7pm in the Parish house. The two topics to discuss at the first meeting are: Becoming a Church that accompanies people through life; and, Becoming a Church that honours the vocation of all the Baptised. Each meeting will only last an hour and we would like to see you there.
