Reflection
The word of God is to the human heart what seed is to the earth. However, just as a seed needs soil, so the word needs a receptive heart. The earth responds to the rain and sun so that even the desert blooms. But the arid human heart has the power to resist so that it remains barren. Lord, soften our hearts with your grace, open them with your gentle love, so that the precious seed of your word may take root in our hearts and bear fruit in our lives.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Fr Ste Lloyd SDB who was Ordained to the priesthood yesterday here in St James’. We ask God to bless him with health and perseverance and many fruitful years as a Salesian priest.
A sincere thank you to all those in the Parish who worked so hard to prepare for the big day. Your selfless work was much appreciated. Reminder: after Fr Ste’s First Mass this morning, there will be refreshments in All Saints school just opposite the Church.
