Eve of 1st Fri 10.30 am
"LORD: WHO CAN BE SAVED?"
Having heard Jesus say how difficult it is for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God, his disciples asked, "Who can be saved?"
Jesus explained: "For people it is impossible, but not for God: because everything is possible for God".
Since it is unlikely that most of us will sell everything we own and give the money to the poor, as we try to follow Jesus; we must at best contribute generously, in proportion to our means, to those in need.
"Lord, may our love for you express itself in our eagerness to do good for others".

Your support is necessary and vital.
