A message from Fr John

Posted on: 18/01/2021

Dear Friends

Good morning

We can’t help but be anxious about the next few days in the USA - we pray that all people of faith, especially those in leadership roles, might be united in striving to ‘build bridges not walls’.

Abbe Six muses:
To say to the God of Jesus that we love him is to say to him, ‘You exist’; it also means saying ‘You exist’ to everyone who is here and now our neighbour.

And if I might repeat ….
‘I’ve realised why we are here,’ whispered the boy.
‘For cake? asked the mole.
‘To love,’ said the boy.
‘And be loved,’ said the horse.

St Joseph, model of patient love, pray for us

Every blessing

Fr John

PS let’s keep our carers, nurses and doctors in our prayers please
