Message from Father David

Getting the Most out of life

In the schools I can sense the buzz of excitement amongst the pupils who are counting the days to the summer holidays.  Whether we travel or stay at home, holiday time can often be an under estimated or under valued opportunity for refreshing our minds as well as our bodies.  Holidays give us opportunities that the business of daily life often denies us.

Holidays give us the opportunity to deepen or re-affirm our relationships – perhaps with our partners, our children, our relatives and friends and also with God.

Holiday time may be a good time to do some reading about our faith, or put aside ten minutes for quiet prayer or reflection.  Perhaps get to a weekday Mass or have a family meal at which we give thanks for our lives, our health, our food and remember those not as fortunate as ourselves.

Why not make your holiday this year a special experience which you will be able to draw strength and inspiration from throughout the working year.

Father’s Day in the UK

This year is on 16th June.  St. Joseph was the first Christian Father and is Patron of Fathers so we will be remembering St. Joseph and all the Fathers in our two churches on Saturday 15th June at the Vigil Mass and Sunday, 16th June.

The Revd. David Adams, husband of Karmelin – a parishioner at Holy Family, is an Anglican Priest and is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his ordination as an Anglican Priest this weekend.  We assure Karmelin and David of our prayers on this special occasion.  Their married life encompassing faithfulness to two religious denominations is an example of Christian Unity in practice.

Annual Financial Report (Holy Angels)

This week the Annual Financial Report for Holy Angels, Ash is available with the Newsletter.  I hope as many people as possible will support the AGM’s for Holy Family on the Wednesday, 12th June and for Holy Angels on Wednesday, 19th June.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

Many Congratulations to Peter and Brenda Sawyer (who run our Christian Gift Stall at Ash) and TODAY celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary.

A prayer before Communion

Jesus, I receive your love
poured out for me
in bread and wine.
Accept this gift of my life,
brought to the altar
without conditions.
Do your work in me,
and let me be, like you,
taken, blessed,
and given for others for, in spite of my sin,
you know that I love you.

(Taken from the book of ‘A Thousand Prayers’.)

A prayer after Communion

Lord Jesus Christ,
though we have held and handled you in bread and wine,
we can never confine or contain you;
yet, in this sacrament, you are closer to us than our own thoughts.
Fill us with your peace,
and come into every corner of our complex lives.
O Lord of love.

 

PLEASE NOTE: 

The Parish Office will be closed for the summer break from Monday, 10th June until 24th June.  Father David or Deacon John Edwards can be contacted as usual if an emergency.
