Reflection
Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing, and our minds with knowing. Let there be moments when the radiance of your presence illuminates the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed. And we, clay touched by your hand, will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder, “How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it.”

Novena and Rosary are starting again each Wednesday at 9.30am, just before the morning Mass. All are welcome!
