A message from Fr John

Dear Friends

Good morning - a cooler morning for sure

Some sad news - Audrey Judge, former teacher at St George’s School died yesterday; may the angels lead her to paradise. Please pray for her, for her family and friends. We owe so much to our teachers; we remember so many of them with gratitude and affection.

Pope Francis says:
'We need lives that show the miracle of God’s love. Not forcefulness, but forthrightness. Not palaver, but prayer. Not speeches but service. Do you want a prophetic Church? Then start serving and be quiet. Not theory, but testimony. We are not to become rich, but rather to live the poor. We are not to save up for ourselves, but to spend ourselves for others.’

We are the beneficiaries of so many people who have given us that example. We might spend some time today remembering, treasuring, and giving thanks… and pray for the grace to be able to pass some of that to younger generations.

Let us pray for those who are sick especially
Adela, Winnie, Sylvia, Joe, Susan, Irene, Paddy, Jimmy and Maureen
And for those who have died especially
