Anna Mendes and her family wish to thank all those who helped to celebrate her 60th birthday last week. It was a wonderful celebration where people could meet, greet, eat and tweet. Anna had a donation box for anonymous contributions to the St. Vincent de Paul Society and St. Teresa’s Community Project – which raised £900. Thanks to everyone for their gracious generosity.
Welcome to Gabriella Rabindran and Isla Helena Dynes Baptised this weekend into the Christian community. Congratulations to their parents and families.
On Tuesday, 15th August – Masses at 10.00am and 7.00pm.
We pray for Fr. Michael Hutchings who died recently in Uruguay. May he rest in peace.
In the story of Transfiguration, God allows the disciples to see Jesus for what he really is. The Voice that spoke to Jesus at his baptism now speaks to them all, authenticating Jesus as God’s Son and chosen teacher. The disciples are literally ‘gob stopped’, and want to preserve the experience by building three shelters for the heavenly visions. But such an experience, like any mystical experience of the divine, is not to last. They must return to the business of living their daily lives in the light of this overwhelming experience. The Gospel tells us that Jesus went up the Holy Mountain to pray. Where do you like to pray? What do you find the best form of prayer? Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB |
