THE YOUTH MASS
I have now put a photographic report of this Mass on the website. It is on the Past Events page. I am hoping that the young people will return to do a couple of slots (Offertory and recessional) on 12th June at the 10am Mass, the 46th anniversary of my ordination as a priest – Filipino choir please note that you don’t need to prepare an Offertory hymn that day!
CONFIRMATION PROGRAMME |
THE READINGS THIS SUNDAY
“May they all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
These, of course, are the words of Jesus praying for his disciples as he’s about to go to his death. But his prayer is surely for all of us too. It’s a prayer for a true communion of people, that’s to be seen in the relationship of the Trinity itself, where we can speak of oneness, even when there’s clearly difference.
The ethnic mix of many of our communities has changed so much in recent years because of the movement of peoples. And hateful racism is not simply targeted at black footballers on social media. Immediately after Brexit, the number of racist incidents rose significantly across the country and all too many people saw newcomers as unwelcome. It’s not without reason that footballers and others in this country have been ‘taking the knee’ since the killing of George Floyd in the United States.
Back in the year 2000, Pope John Paul II suggested an aim for the beginning of the millennium that he thought the rest of us might share. Like Jesus in the Gospel, his prayer was that we achieve a ‘spirituality of communion’. He described this as being able to see God shining on the face of the brothers and sisters around us, to know how to "make room" for people who are different, and to bear "each other's burdens".
THIS WEEK’S FEASTS OR SPECIAL DAYS
Tuesday 31st May – The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Wednesday, 1st June – St. Justin. He was born in Samaria in 110 and, on becoming a Christian, wrote two great works in defence of Christianity (the ‘Apology’ and the ‘Dialogue with Trypho’). These gave us information on the early Christian communities. In about the year 165, he was arrested and condemned to death.
Thursday 2nd June – Ss Marcellinus and Peter. They were martyred in the persecutions of Diocletian around the year 300. Peter, when he was already in prison, invited his fellow prisoner, the priest Marcellinus, to baptise their gaoler whom Peter had converted.
Friday, 3rd June: St. Charles Lwanga and Companions. Charles and 21 others all under the age of 25 were martyred by burning or beheading under a persecution of Christians of all denominations by the deviant King Mwanga of Uganda in 1885/7.
