Sixth Sunday of Easter

First Reading : Acts of the Apostles 15: 1-2.22-29
A big issue for the early Church was how much of the Law and traditions of Moses
should be imposed on Gentile converts. This reading tells us how the problem was solved.

Second Reading: Apocalypse 21: 10-14, 22-23
We are given a majestic picture of the new Jerusalem, the heavenly Church of the future,
when God’s Kingdom will come in all its glory.

Gospel: John 14: 23-29
We hear yet another portion of Jesus’ farewell discourse at the Last Supper.
It is dominated by the thought of his imminent departure.

Cemetery Sunday:

A word of welcome to all who will visit the parish this weekend for the annual blessing of the graves ceremony. A very important date in the parish calendar, nobody likes to miss it. There is a feeling of having done something worthwhile when we honour the memory of our dead; it is truly an act of faith and worship which brings great consolation and healing. If our belief in the communion of saints means anything, it certainly means that in our prayer for the dead we help them and they help us.

 

Thanks to FAS:

A word of thanks to all for the care you give to family graves. Special mention is due to our FAS team, management and staff, for their unstinting effort in maintaining our church grounds so well throughout the year and for the special occasions of First Communion, Confirmation and Cemetery Sunday.
