THIS WEEK
5th Apr 2020
Palm Sunday
| Readings at Mass: 5th April 1st Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7 Psalm: 21(22):8-9,17-20,23-24 2nd Reading: Philippians 2:6-11 Gospel: Matthew 26:14-27:66 |
1. As Jesus processes into Jerusalem ‘’....the whole city was in turmoil’’ the opening Gospel says. In what way are you in ‘’turmoil’’ because of the current situation? How can you ‘’place’’ it in God’s hands? How can you support others in their ‘turmoil’?
2. Isaiah, in the first reading, writes, “So I may know how to reply to the wearied He provides me with speech”. Through your faith and humanity what words of hope, promise or challenge has the Lord given you to speak to others?
3. St Paul (2nd reading) says that Christ Jesus was “humbler yet, even to accepting death...” In what way can your humility be a source of service or leadership?
4. After Jesus was arrested, we hear in The Passion Gospel, “all the disciples deserted him and ran away”. When have you ‘deserted’ others in their hour of need? Why? When have you stood by? Why? This week how are you going to try to ‘stay’ with Christ Jesus?: read the Scriptures, daily time in prayer, create space just to ‘be’?

COMING UP
PARISH PILGRIMAGE 2020 led by Father Vincent and Godfrey Doyle. Following the successful pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela and last year to Malta a further one is being planned for this year. This will be to Fatima and other religious and historic sites in northern Portugal, finishing in Lisbon. It is being planned for 14—21 October 2020. Details available soon.
If a family member is going into the General Hospital please let your local priest know (in case they require ‘Anointing’ before being admitted); also inform the Hospital Chaplaincy requesting a visit by the Team and, if appropriate, Holy Communion (or to arrange to attend the afternoon Mass in the Hospital)
Thank you to all who planned, ran and got involved with the Mission held from 30 May - 9 June 2019. A special thanks to Father Des, Tina Quinn, the ‘Welcomers’, ‘Hospitality Teams’ and musicians/singers. Many of us have benefited from the 9 days of prayer, talks, reflections, conversations and Masses. Now what next?
- Consider a deeper involvement in Parish Life? Let us know!
- Baptism Team?
- Pre-Marriage Team?
- Winter shelter scheme?
- Reader, Eucharistic Minister?
- Welcomer, Hospitality…?
- Maybe ‘Called and Gifted’ (July) or
- ‘Open Door Retreats’ (September) or
- ‘Week of Accompanied Prayer’ (November)

Catholics and people of any Christian community or faith (or none) are able to use St Edmund's Church as a place of quiet and reflection throughout the day.
This website has been prepared for you, the parishioner, for our visitors and for those in the local community who are interested in the parish. This website provides a summary of the many activities, groups and organisations that function in this vibrant parish. We welcome contributions and anyone can submit an article.
To all new arrivals, we extend a very warm welcome. We would be grateful if you would complete a census form and return it to the parish office so that our records may be kept up to date. Be assured, that in doing so you are not committing yourselves to anything.
