| SCRIPTURE
Do everything without complaining or arguing, So that you may be innocent and pure, As God’s perfect children Who live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them Like stars lighting up the sky (Phil 2.14-15)
….I used to be a blasphemer and did all I could to injure and discredit the faith. Mercy, however, was shown me, because until I became a believer I had been acting in ignorance….here is a saying you can rely on and nobody should doubt: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners………..I tell you there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety nine virtuous men who have no need of repentance”. *********** HOME MISSION SUNDAY today comes with a second collection. CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY is scheduled for Friday Oct 4th. There will be a second collection on Sunday 6th October *********** SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMME The first session of the programme will be held in Church on 26th Sept at 6.30pm. *********** POPE FRANCIS Said at last Saturday’s prayer vigil “How I wish that all men and women of good will would look to the cross, if only for a moment. There, we can see God’s reply: violence is not answered with violence, death is not answered with the language of death. In the silence of the cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation , forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken”.
