A Handful

In the Gospel Jesus uses many images to describe the kingdom of God - the gift of life in its fullness. It’s a hidden treasure, a priceless pearl, a catch of fish. But the main point is, if our hand is full of something else there will be no room for the treasure- be it pearl or gold.

Given our innate selfishness we might do well to repeat the line of to days psalm “Let your love be ready to console me. O Lord” and ask Him, as Solomon did, for a “discerning spirit”, so that at the end of life’s choices we are not left clutching a fistful of straws with no room in our hand to hold the pearl of great price

“If the Lord does not build the house in vain to its builders labour. If the Lord does not watch over the city in,  vain do it’s watch men keep vigil”


Coeliac Chalice.

There is a minister of Holy Communion at each Mass to distribute the Precious Blood to those who are coeliac. You are invited to come and receive from the Chalice at the normal time. The chalice is for coeliacs only. People who receive the host are asked not to receive from this chalice in order to avoid gluten contamination and to insure that there is enough for those who need to  receive. Communion is distributed under both species at the 8.30 Mass on Sunday.


Pray, Hope and don't worry. - St. (Padre Pio)
