Fr. Michael writes:-
:- In today’s Gospel we celebrate the mystery of Christ’s
transfiguration on Mount Tabor. It was a wonderful experience
for the three disciples who witnessed it, so much so that Peter
cried out:- “Lord it is wonderful for us to be here.”
Yet that could not be so. Jesus is increasingly aware that to
carry out his Father’s mission will bring him face to
face with a violent death. St.
Matthew shows us that Jesus is not just the one who is to suffer
but that he is the beloved Son of God. In the transfiguration
the name of Jesus is called in love : he is named and owned
by the Father, and we are all directed to listen to him.
It is that same love of God for us that should help us in our
life’s journey. It enables us to keep on striving until
we can rest at last in the love that knows our name best.
Lent
We are now at the second week of Lent. If so far you
feel you have not begun or have failed miserably, do
not worry, just begin again. Here, again are some suggestions. (a) Weekday Mass : 10.00 am daily.
Tuesday and Thursday : 10.00 am and 7.00 pm. It is good
to see many more people at daily Mass. All are welcome. (b) Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Takes place in the Church each day from Monday to Saturday
from 10.30 am to 12 noon. Why not take the time to pop
into Church even for a few minutes to keep company with
the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. (c) Rosary. Every morning at 9.30 am
in the Church the rosary is recited. The rosary is a
lovely way of prayer and to start each day. (d) Stations of the Cross. Takes place
every Wednesday of Lent immediately after 10.00 am Mass
and each Friday at 7.00 pm. (e) Confessions. Take place every Saturday
from 10.30 am to 11.30 am and 5.15 pm to
5.30 pm. Why not get into the habit of coming regularly
to the grace and forgiveness of the Sacrament.
CAFOD Retiring Collection
Today at all Masses there is a retiring collection
for the work of CAFOD. Last Friday was Lenten Fast Day
and you can make your contribution as you leave Mass
today. CAFOD is the official overseas and relief agency
of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

Parish Youth Group
We meet in the Coffee Lounge at 7.00 pm this (Sunday)
evening to watch the film "Chariots of Fire."
It is all about the quest for glory of the English team
at the Paris Olympics in 1924 and one athlete's Christian
principles.
God our loving Father,
who made us your children
in baptism, pour out on us afresh the gifts of your
Holy Spirit.
Open our ears to
hear your Word,
open our hearts to
you in prayer,
that we may receive
with ever deeper faith the
Bread of Life.
Strengthened through
these gifts
make us signs of
your presence
to the world of today.
Father, hear our
humble prayer
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
