Fr. Mark writes:-Christianity
overturns the values of the world and the expectations of men.
That is the message of the first reading. Sometimes it is so
easy for us to judge, to assume we know what God wants. But
God is much bigger than our mindset, and we have to be willing
to readjust.
The disciples have been observant Jews – they think they
know what God expects in religion, that they are the Chosen
People.
They have got to re-think. Peter assures them God has no favourites;
He is no respecter of nationality or any other purely human
distinction. The Good News is for pagan and Jew alike. The only
requirements are an acceptance of Jesus as key to our salvation
and an openness to receive the Holy Spirit. Let us ensure we
do not put up any obstacles where God has placed none.
Welcome
We welcome Fr. Derek McGuire of the Augustinians who
will celebrate the 10.00 am and 11.30 am Masses for
us this morning while Fr. Mark is on pilgrimage with
parishioners in France.
Confirmation
Thank-you to the Bishop, the musicians and altar servers
– and especially to the candidates themselves
– who helped make last Sunday such a beautiful
celebration of the sacrament. There was a great deal
of positive feedback subsequently. Thank-you also to
all the catechists who have given their time so generously
over the last few months to help pass on our faith to
our young people. It is very much appreciated.
Evening Masses
There will be no evening Mass on Tuesday this week.
Ascension Day
This Thursday, 25 May, is the Feast of the Ascension
of Our Lord, a holy day of obligation when all Catholics
should try to be at Mass. There will be a Vigil Mass
at 8.00 pm on the Wednesday and Masses at 10.00 am and
8.00 pm on the Thursday. We look forward to welcoming
the top half of Sacred Heart School to the 10.00 am
Mass on Ascension Day.
World Communication Day
There will be a retiring collection at the Masses next
weekend on behalf of Catholic Communications to help
ensure that the Gospel is heard in today’s society.
