Dear Parishioners,
It is good to be able to greet you once more as I send out the Newsletter and Readings for Holy Mass this weekend. With the arrival of John the Baptist as a central character in the Liturgy this weekend we know that Advent has most certainly arrived ! A reflection from CAFOD invites us to reflect on the following words and, in the spirit of the Baptist’s message, make them our own.
We repent and are sorry for the damage we have caused to our earth and to one another. Come, Lord, bearer of love.
Guide us as we seek to straighten the paths of injustice and prepare a way for you. Come, Lord, bearer of love.
Lead us in your ways, as together we make a change and reach out in love to others. Come, Lord, bearer of love.
As the second of our Advent Candles is lit this weekend you, together with your loved ones, will be remembered.
With prayerful remembrance, kindest thought and affection.
As ever, Fr. Nicholas
