Second Sunday of Christmas – 3rd January 2010
...
 

The book of Genesis tells us that when God spoke, the world was created. “Let there be light – and there was light”. The Gospel of John echoes this when we read through the word of God all things came to be. The Word of God is creative and life-giving and brings light out of darkness. The Word was made flesh in the person of Jesus, and lived among us. He spoke the message of eternal life and we hear to this day his words of compassion, truth and love. May the words we speak also be words that are creative and life-giving; words of faith, hope and love that truly reflect the glory, grace and truth of God’s eternal Word. “O Lord, open my lips and my tongue shall announce your praise”.



Wednesday 6th January ~ The Epiphany of the Lord

Father of light,

You revealed your son to the nations

by the guidance of a star.

Lead us to your glory in heaven

by the light of faith.

Diocesan Regulations & Reminders 2010

 

Baptism

At least one weeks notice is required for Baptism to enable the priest met the parents. Baptismal names should not be given which are foreign to Christian sentiment.

 

Confirmation

The bishop no longer administers the confirmation pledge during the celebration of the sacrament. Instead, it is recommended that the boys and girls for Confirmation take the pledge from the local priest at a public Mass on the Sunday before Lent begins, the National Day of prayer for Temperance. This year that is Sunday February 14.

 

Offertory Procession

Only bread, wine, water, and gifts to the church should be included in offertory procession. Personal Symbols, which are not gifts, may be brought to an appropriately arranged side table in the sanctuary area at the beginning of Mass.
