Reflection
The Good Samaritan was someone who cared.
Blessed are those who care:
They will let people know they are loved.
Blessed are those who are gentle: they will help people to grow as the sun helps the buds to unfold.
Blessed are those who listen: they will lighten many a burden.
Blessed are those who know how to let go: they will have the joy of seeing people find themselves.
Blessed are those who, when nothing can be done or said, do not walk away, but remain to provide a comforting and supportive presence: they will help the sufferer to bear the unbearable.
Blessed are those who recognise their own need to receive: they will be able to give all the better.
And blessed are those who give without hope of return: they will give people an experience of God.
Confirmations
Young people from our Deanery will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in St Monica’s Church on Monday 11th July and Thursday 14th July at 7pm. Bishop Tom Neylon is celebrating the Sacrament on both nights.
Sea Sunday
Every year Churches around the world celebrate Sea Sunday. It is a day for people to come together to pray for seafarers and fishers and thank them for the vital role they play in all of our lives. Let us pray for God’s blessing on them today.
Former Parishioners of St. Richard’s
As you may be aware, The Archdiocese is now in a position to put the church up for sale. If you know of any families who had loved ones’ Ashes interred in the grounds of the Church, could you please contact St. Monica’s (on: 0151 922 4819) to let them know. If there is no-one available to take your call, could you please leave a message, and someone will get back to you.”
