From Fr. James... Fr James was sent these challenging and helpful words by a friend of his last week and has chosen to share them with you...
“I Don’t Feel Anything at Mass. So Why Go?”. This is another one people don’t always say out loud, but they live it: “I go to Mass, but I don’t feel anything.” “It’s boring.” “It doesn’t move me.” It sounds honest. But it hides a dangerous misunderstanding. Because Mass was never designed to entertain you. It was designed to save you. (to continue reading, click here)

MAY
That everyone might have food.
Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food, and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food.
Please remember in your prayers those of our parish who are sick and those who care for them.
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
