Letter from our Pastor

Dear people of St Mary Church

The Lord says: my plans for you are peace and not disaster; when you call to me, I will listen to you, and I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.
The Church begins and ends her Liturgical Year with Scripture passages that remind us of our end and the end of the world. Today’s readings remind us that this universe will come to an end one day. Then the final judgment will come, when Christ will gather his faithful followers from the four corners of this earth. Jesus warned the people of his time to be ever vigilant, living according to the truths he had taught them. Today Jesus is speaking to us, the present generation, the same words he spoke 2000 years ago. Let us believe in and accept the salvific plan of God, and avail ourselves of this opportunity to repent and be prepared.

Next week we will be celebrating the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ The King.

Thought for this week - "Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself." By St Francis de Sales.

Sincerely, Fr Joseph
