Reflection
The following prayer was found written over the door of a Church: “Lord, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship, narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block to children, nor to straying feet. Make this house a house of prayer and a gateway to your kingdom.”

Second Collection
Just to remind you that there is a second collection next Sunday, 10th March, for Nugent.
Heating
At the moment, only one of our two boilers is working, which is why the radiators are not as hot as they should be. My apologies for this. The boilers were serviced three weeks ago and have been nothing but trouble ever since! The men from Senate are coming to overhaul both boilers on Monday, so hopefully normal heat will soon be restored. Meanwhile, keep wearing your winter woollies!
