A Message from the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) “We are attempting to make contact and keep in touch with as many members of the Parish Community as possible and so, in the near future, we will be sending out teams of two to visit the newer areas of the Parish. Members will identify themselves as representing the Parish”.
The Pope’s Intentions for June
Universal: Human Solidarity That the aged, marginalised, and those who have no-one may find – even within the huge cities of the world – opportunities for encounter and solidarity.
Evangelisation: Seminarians and Novices That seminarians and men and women entering religious life may have mentors who live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely for their mission.
Glory to you, Father
May you blessed, Father,
because you have created me,
and because the heart that you have given me
you held, first of all, in your own hands!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!
May you be blessed, Father,
for the soul that you have given me,
because your love has fashioned it
in the image of Jesus, your first-born Son!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!
May you be blessed, Father,
for the body that you have given me,
because you will call it to live eternally
in the glory of your resurrection!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!
O Father of Jesus and source of the Spirit,
you who loved me in Christ
even before the world was created,
you who are the source of my whole being
and the root of every good thing that grows in me:
because I was born in your heart,
let my whole life be only a return to you –
to your heart, where I will finally know
the peace of my heart. (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
