4th Sunday of the Year (Yr B)
29th January 2012
Fr Chris writes:-
Words that are preceded by deeds are so much easier to
receive. When people have done something good and then they
begin to speak, people listen! Their words carry enormous weight
and authority; their words are energising and life giving. What
we say with our lips, we are to believe in our hearts and live
out in our daily lives! Sometimes though, words are not
preceded, or accompanied, or even followed by deeds – they are
merely dead words.
Today our children, of the Parish, are enrolling (at our Sunday
morning Masses) for their First Holy Communion preparation as
they celebrate God’s life giving words and life giving
sacrifice. We pray for them all and their parents / carers who
have committed themselves to be the first teachers of the faith
by what they say and do, teaching by word and example. We pray
too for their catechists and the community that we may play our
part in encouraging and enabling by our words and deeds!
Sunday Mass is celebrated in all three Churches. Together the Parish is committed to celebrating the Catholic faith as part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, in communion with the Bishop Kieran Conry.
Whether you are new to the parish or an existing church member, please explore our individual Church websites to join in our faith celebration and to find out how you can get the most out of the Parish community.
