Pray
for the repose of the soul of His
Holiness Pope Francis
At 9.47
on 21st April, His Eminence Cardinal Kevin Joseph
Farrell announced the death of Pope Francis:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.
At 7.35 this morning the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was devoted to service to the Lord and His Church.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalized.
With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love the One and Triune God”.
May
he rest in peace and rise in glory, amen
|
Alleluia
~ Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace is risen ~ Alleluia
The Lord is Risen Indeed Alleluia! Heaven and Earth rejoice in Your
resurrection
To
all parishioners, visitors, friends and people of goodwill, a Blessed and
Happy Easter! May you have:
The gladness of Easter which is hope; The spirit of Easter which is joy;
The heart of Easter which is love.
In
these holy days, the Risen Christ repeats His call to each one of us:
“Come and follow me! I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I have overcome
death!”

Papal
Encyclical 'Dilexit Nos' - 'On the Human and Divine Love of
the Heart of Jesus Christ'. ~ In his fourth encyclical, Pope
Frances urges us, in the midst of so many global crises, to connect
with what truly matters – the heart. In welcoming the encyclical,
Cardinal Vincent Nichols emphasised that the letter is for everyone
because the Sacred Heart of Jesus is ‘the source of living water
that moves us and enables us to reach out to others, to offer
forgiveness, to make amends for our failings, to seek to build
healing relationships of faithfulness and service. In the heart of
Jesus, we find love.’ ~ download Encyclical via Bishops of England and Wales
website.

Medjugorje:
message for the world via visionary Marija
on April 25th 2024: “Dear children, Winds of peacelessness, selfishness and sin are catching hold of many hearts and leading them into peacelessness and perdition. That is why I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer, so that it may be good for you in the hearts and on the earth on which you live. I love you, little children, and that is why I am not tiring of calling you to conversion. Thank you for having responded to my
call.” ~~~ Annual apparition to visionary Mirjana, March 18th 2025: “Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son
- salvation. Thank you.” ~ More Medjugorje
