Jesus
said to his disciples: “Go
out to the whole world; proclaim the
Good News to all creation”.
Because of all that has been happening
in the Church in recent years we can
feel despondent about the future.
Today’s feast of joy and gladness
is a call to us to look up with confidence
and know the power of Christ for the
world in which we live. In spite of
the sinfulness of his people, Christ
is at work and can overcome. Our task
is to let the world know his love
and his salvation, not just by word
but especially by the way we live
with joy and hope and love. Although
these qualities are best developed
in our homes and families, they need
to be seen and experienced in our
faith community. This can only happen
when we are all taking our responsibility
for the health and well-being of our
faith community and its future.
The
Annual Diocesan Lourdes Hospitalite
collection will take place
this weekend. Thank you for having
generously supported us in the past.
We hope that we can rely on your
support this year again.
