Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

 The invasion of the Ukraine has been to the forefront of minds this week. This has been reflected in our Masses in time of war and conflict and the media reporting the events. There have been the calls for prayer from the Pope , the Cardinal, the Bishop and too the Eastern Rite Ukrainian Eparch. Please click here for further details. We  hold in our prayers our Brothers and Sisters in that troubled region.

The Season of Lent

This season which prepares us for the Passion ,Death and Resurrection of Our Lord over 6 weeks .These days are called from history as the Forty Days. They give us the opportunity to arm ourselves with spiritual “ weapons “ – self control , self denial , good consciences and a lively faith.

They begin on Wednesday -Ash Wednesday -when as a sign of beginning to follow Jesus closely and to seek forgiveness of our sinfulness and lack of honesty we have the Ashes marked on our forehead. This is done at the Masses – 10am and 7:30pm

It is also one of the 2 Days of Fasting in the year, Pope Francis has invited us to observe our Fasting for Peace – more information here and here.

In St Bernadette’s there will be a Liturgy with the Ashes at 2pm
