Fr Martin writes

Words can help convey truth. But even they fall silent before the mystery of Jesus dying on the cross. The beauty and glory of the Passion is that the One who suffered is the very Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. He is truly man while remaining truly God.

Flesh and blood cannot grasp this. What is needed is a grace of revelation.

This grace compels us to wonder, worship and bow dowen before the One who being God, did not consider equality with God something to grasp but took the very nature of a servant, and became obedient to death – even death on a cross.

Over this Holy Week take some time to pause and prayerfully reflect upon this sacred mystery. Spend some time in Church and use the silence to ponder, to pray and to listen for the still small voice of calm.

Maker that extra effort to attend the worship and ceremonies of the Tridiuum – especially Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Then join the thousands throughout the world who on Easter Day will joyfully proclaim the reality of the Resurrection!

Christian Aid

With the arrival of a new baby Katy Maplan is unable to continue as our Parish rep for Christian Aid. So we need a new person to take on the task of liaising with the Kingston Committee for Christian Aid and organising for our Parish to cover one or two streets in the Canbury area to be covered for the annual charity collection.  If you feel able to take up this role please see Fr Martin.

Music in Hospitals – Concert
