WE NEED LENT
Much as we hate to admit it, our progress in the spiritual life never permits us to get beyond our mortality – which is another way of saying we remain sinners in need of grace and salvation. Even as we advance in habits of prayer, moral behaviour, service, and the practice of compassion, we are still hampered by the spirit of temptation. The face it wears may change, but the voice that calls us to disregard God’s will for ours remains surprisingly recognisable. Centuries may come and go, but the devil Jesus encountered in the desert is the same rascal who haunts our world today.
In the wisdom of the Church we spend 40 days each year preparing to square off with the opponent of our souls once more. The enemy is us, as the saying goes. We are the ones that rebel against God’s law in favour of the greedy self. Our Lord Jesus has already vanquished this enemy for all eternity. We need only keep it at bay for another season. As a parish, let us be united in prayer on our journey to Holy Week. Blessings to your intentions for Lent. Join us at Mass, join us for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, join us in the Stations of the Cross, find time to heal your soul from sin, find time for the Rosary, and find time to reach out to the poor and needy. Each Friday in Lent we shall celebrate an extra Mass at 7.30p.m. ‘FOR YOUR INTENTIONS’. Stations of the Cross will take place prior to this at 6.30pm led by different groups in the parish i.e. RCIA and the Confirmation Candidates. We look forward to you joining us! |

Toilet Block
We are blessed at St. Teresa’s to have a dedicated team of cleaners who ensure the Church, hall and toilet block are cleaned weekly. Unfortunately, in recent times, the toilets have been found in an unacceptable condition. Please could you ensure that hand dryers are used and not toilet paper and that sanitary bins are used for sanitary products only. By doing this, we respect not only our environment and each other but reduce the waste of resources as far as possible. Many thanks.
Deceased
We keep in our prayers Alberto Cabillos who died recently. May he rest in peace.
