Fr Jeremy writes…
Little did I imagine that one of my duties in ‘house-sitting’ the parish this week would involve having to contribute a foreword to the newsletter as in old times. Sue suggested I write something about retirement, though some people say they see me so often in the parish that they weren’t aware that I had retired! It’s true, I am here rather a lot, but I recognise that the clergy here have more and more to do as they seem to be taking on responsibility for more and more local parishes. Truth is, I’m glad to help and I guess it’s useful to Fr James to have someone around who knows the area, the hospital, the schools, the people, the routines of the parish, where the keys are, who to call in an emergency, etc. Anyway, I’m glad to be here as I love this parish and its people more than I can say.

Fr. James writes… Our Parish, Our Responsibility
Our Parish Commitment
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:7
Over the last couple of weeks, we have explored the topics of Stewardship and Planned Giving. We have asked all parishioners to prayerfully reflect on what they contribute to our parish, having considered the needs of our parish, and reflected on the message of stewardship. To continue, click here.
Pope Leo XIV on the importance of Almsgiving, as we continue our reflections on the responsible and God-centred use of money:
Our love and our deepest convictions need to be continually cultivated, and we do so through our concrete actions. Remaining in the realm of ideas and theories, while failing to give them expression through frequent and practical acts of charity, will eventually cause even our most cherished hopes and aspirations to weaken and fade away.

JULY
For respect for human life. Let us pray for the respect and protection of human life in all its stages, recognizing it as a gift from God.
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.

PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
Loving God, we pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices. We pray for the world, that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world. Amen.
