Reflection
It can happen that we lose interest in people and even become blind to their strengths when we discover their limitations. During his passion Jesus discovered the limitations of Peter, yet he didn’t write him off. He continued to believe in him and in time he came good. Like Peter, we are weak human beings who are inconstant in our beliefs. We need someone who understands our weaknesses, who realises that it may take time for us to overcome them and who doesn’t write us off because we don’t produce the goods at once.
First Holy Communion
For the next four Sundays, a number of Children will be making their First Holy Communion at the 10.30Mass. In the usual way, these children and their families will occupy the first few front benches on either side of Church.
The children making their Communion this Sunday are: Sophie Hanlon, Ruby Gerrard, Abbi Casson, Andrea Zsurzs and Jay Kendrick. Please remember them and their families in your prayers.
Diocesan COVID Update
In Church, the wearing of masks and sanitising are both optional. The Priest/Deacon will still sanitise and wear a mask while distributing Communion. Communion under both kinds is still not possible. Anyone who wants Communion on the tongue should come at the end of the queue.
Second collection
Next Sunday, 8th May, is Vocations Sunday, and there is a second collection for the Priests’ Training Fund. This is another mandatory collection.
