Pope Francis Daily Reflections: June 14th 2021

Webmaster • June 12, 2021


Monday 14th June: : The Gospel…the message of salvation, has two destinations that are connected: the first, to awaken faith, and this is evangelisation: the second, to transform the world according to God’s plan, and this is the Christian animation of society. But these are not two separate things, they form one mission: to carry the Gospel by the witness of our lives in order to transform.
                                                                                                                       

Tuesday 15th June: Contact with the Word of God draws us near to the kingdom of God. Consider this: a small Gospel always at hand, ready to open when the opportunity arises, ready to read what Jesus says: Jesus is there.


Wednesday 2nd June:  God’s Word teaches that our brothers & Sisters are the prolongation of the incarnation for each of us. “As you did to one of these, the least of my brethren, you did to me. (Matt 25:40)


Thursday 3rd June:  The Word of God has creative force, and once God speaks his word to us, it can only become Word made flesh.


Friday 4th June: : In the being and vocation of every Christian is the personal encounter with the Lord. To seek God is to seek his face to enter into his intimacy.


Saturday 5th June: The study of Sacred Scriptures must be a door opened to every believer. Evangelisation demands familiarity with God’s Word

If you wish to sign up for Gift Aid. It is a great way to help the parish financially, costing you absolutely nothing. If you wish to sign up contact myself or Doreen Lee and we will give you the form and hand it back as you can and we can get it organised. As I said it costs you nothing, but helps the parish so much.

I am looking for Volunteers to move the power-points on during the Sunday Masses, Vigil 4pm, 9.30am & 11am. It is very easy to operate, if we get enough volunteers for each Mass we would put a wee rota together. It would take a wee bit of pressure off me.
