We ponder on the mystery of our salvation, made possible through the immeasurable love of Jesus. We pray -- with sorrow, with gratefulness, with hope -- for it is and was through his blood that we are saved.

23.01.2022 On the feast day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop we ponder her wise words: "Whatever troubles may be before you, accept them bravely, remembering Whom you are trying to follow. Do not be afraid. Love one another, bear with one another, and let charity guide you all your life. God will reward you as only He can."

08.01.2022 Last week I watched a webinar hosted by Divine Renovation's UK coordinator, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce and featuring Fr James Mallon and Sherry Weddell. One of the key questions it raised for me was, "Who is watching your live-streamed Masses?" The thought is that there are probably many people stumbling across these Masses who are on the periphery, and therefore are parishes inviting them to know more about God, Jesus or the Catholic Faith? Would your parish consider adding this invitation at the end of the online Mass? Is there someone at your parish ready to answer questions/listen? If not, point them to the Catholic Enquiry Centre (www.catholicenquiry.com) - we are here to help. To watch the webinar replay go to: https://bit.ly/2TCGoov
