19.01.2022 Ukrainian artist Vladimir Denshchikov creates religious icons using macrame, each taking up to 9 months. Amazing! :o

19.01.2022 When we receive the Eucharist, we receive Jesus Christ, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. This is what every Catholic child learns before he or she receives Fi...rst Holy Communion, and this is the ancient belief of the Church, taught to us by Jesus himself: My flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed (John 6:55). This is my body . . . This is my blood (Matt 26:2628). In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ is really and truly present. His presence is as real as it was when he walked the streets of Jerusalem and as real as it will be when he returns at the end of days. It is a true parousia, a true coming. And it changes us. At every Mass, in every Holy Communion, Jesus gives his divine life to us. As we’ve talked about already, the Church calls this life sanctifying grace. It’s the life that God breathed into Adam at the dawn of creation and that Adam and Eve both possessed until they made the mistake of listening to the serpent. Sanctifying grace is what they lost, and it’s what Jesus restores to us in Baptism. The Eucharist is God continuing to nourish us with that gift. He feeds us with himself to give our souls what they need for our journey through this world. When we receive the Eucharist frequently, worthily, and reverently, we are healed. We are comforted. We are strengthened. We are empowered to live the life God calls us to live, make the sacrifices he calls us to make, and be the people he calls us to be. The Eucharist, in short, helps us to become holy. It helps us to become saints. from my book Hope to Die at bit.ly/31JAMNB

15.01.2022 A different advent calendar - why not get little bible story books and feel good stories and mix them into the pile. Maybe Gloucester Charities Booksale will even put a mix together for you :D - and why not open in the morning and start the day with an uplifting story

11.01.2022 Interesting story - this teenager put together a list of Eucharistic miracles before his death

09.01.2022 Sr Madeline unfortunately will not be back, she is now well cared for by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Ashfield. Srs Debbie and Gabrielle presented the parish with a farewell gift on behalf of Sr Madeline. She is greatly missed as she was very active in the parish for over 20 years until recently. God bless.
