Reflection
A kingdom that is divided within itself cannot stand. I myself am a divided kingdom; I am divided within myself. The good that I want to do, I do not do, the evil that I want to avoid I find myself doing. I am like a field in which wheat and weeds are struggling for supremacy. Who will save me from myself? Who will keep my kingdom from falling down? You, Lord, who overpowered Satan, will heal the division within me and help me to take complete possession of my house. Then I will be free, united and at peace.
Family of Parishes
At a recent Deanery meeting, we chose Blessed Lawrence Johnson as the Patron of our Family of Parishes and our local Deanery. Blessed Lawrence is a local English Martyr, and you can find a prayer card at the back of Church with details of his life and a prayer which we would invite you to say when you can. Please take one with you.
