Green Sunday
We enter the time when we follow the Gospel of Matthew from Chapter 9 onwards, listening to the teaching and ministry of Jesus. There are just one or two Sundays when a particular feast takes precedence. It is a good time to have your Bible open at the New Testament to follow the Gospel and the context of the passages we hear, to help us take in their meaning. The green applies to the colour of the chasuble and relates, too, to the gradual development of the Gospel.

Our Works Of Art no.4
For this, you have to look up to discover a significant work of art: it is the dome roof. It is described as a geodesic dome, the invention of American architect Buckminster Fuller. It is able to cover a large space without internal supports, more than any other enclosure. It was constructed by four men over seven months. Each facet is six feet square. Children who visit are able to identify squares, triangles, diamonds, and crosses. Look up and wonder at the skills in designing and putting it together.
Next Sunday
The Day for Life, with a second collection.
St Richard’s Prayer
Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ,
For all the benefits which thou hast given us,
For all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for us.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother,
May we know thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
And follow thee more nearly. Amen.
St Thomas More Church, Patcham, Brighton
