Fr. Michael writes:-This
week all over the world, Christians will be celebrating the
great mystery of Christ’s love for us. “Greater
love no man has than he who lays down his life for his friends.”
This is the week Christ lived out the truth of these words.
He took on himself our sins and the sins of the world. The week
ahead is the most important week of the Church’s year

Holy Spirit.
Open our ears to
hear your Word,
open our hearts to
you in prayer,

with ever deeper faith the
Bread of Life.
