Reflection Upon the Sunday Readings
​
​The Beloved Son of God has returned to the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives.  I want to focus on this part of the Gospel for this Sunday because it is important.
 
The disciples have been at prayer with Jesus and have seen Him at prayer many times.  Remember the visit to Mount Tabor where The Father reveals by illumination and by declaration who Jesus is.  This was a stop-over on the deadly journey  to  Jerusalem,  and  although  the  disciples  continued  to  follow  Him  they  were  still  holding  back.   They  couldn't understand why Jesus walked headlong into fierce opposition.  ....
Parish Prayer For Evangelisation
Newsroom
This lent, our Parish Lenten Journey is supporting the work of CAFOD. Due to limited resources, CAFOD turns away 1 in 3 requests for help!
There are a number of ways that you could support CAFOD in your own Lenten journey.
Here are a few suggestions
  1. Rather than have one simple lunch this lent – have several and over the course of lent donate this money
  2. If you are giving up something for lent that requires money; save this money and give a larger one off donation at the end of lent
  3. Think about becoming a regular donor to CAFOD via direct debit – this helps CAFOD to budget as therefore commit to more projects.
  4. Become a campaigner for CAFOD – more information here
