IMPORTANT NOTICE

According to the new instructions by the House of Bishops, because of the joint efforts to contain the spreading of the corona virus, there is no longer public worship on Sundays. Nevertheless, our churches are kept open at normal service times for prayer. A very small number of people can be in church whilst these small representative services are taking place. The Church will be open every day for private prayer. If visiting the church please observe distancing of at least two metres/six feet from anyone else.

But, please do not visit the Church if you are in an “at risk” group (for example, if you are over 70 or have an underlying health condition). We should also now be avoiding public transport for non-essential journeys, so please only visit the church if you have your own transport or are within walking distance.

Priests are encouraged to keep their diaily prayer routine and Eucharist - which we do. We put these private services on our youtube channel. Our stream times as follows.

THIS WEEK: (3rd WEEK IN LENT):

  • This coming Tuesday, 17 March: Jonathan Cave’s funeral at 12.30 pm in our church. Let us pray for him together on the day!
  • The main theme of today’s Gospel is true worship. In the dialogue between our Saviour and the Samaritan woman, we learn the meaning of Jesus for faith. He is the bringer of salvation; he exposes human sin; he inaugurates the true worship of God, which transcends all human approaches to God and is a worship in Spirit and truth, a worship based upon the gospel. It is because Jesus is the bringer of the final revelation of God that he draws all to himself as Saviour of the world.  
  • 31 March Tuesday 12 pm: This week our Lunch-club is moved to Tuesday. Our special guest-speaker is Fr Neil Bunker (he was our guest on a Sunday two years ago.) Our Lenten theme: the importance of repentance and reconciliation with God.
  • 26 April after the 10 am mass: Our Annual Parishioners’ Meeting. You will be presented our annual reports on finances, fabric, and pastoral work.
  • Bible readings for the Week (Day: Morning // Evening). Sunday: (Genesis 37:1-36; Hebrews 10:19-39 // Genesis 39:1-23; 2 Corinthians 5:20-7:1) Monday: (Exodus 12:37-51; John 4:27-54 //Exodus 13:1-16; Ephesians 3:1-21) Tuesday: (Exodus 13:17-14:14; John 5:1-23// Exodus 14:15-31; Ephesians 4:1-16) Wednesday: (Exodus 15:1-26; John 5:24-47 // Exodus 15:27-16:35; Ephesians 4:17-30), Thursday: (Exodus 17:1-16; John 6:1-21 // Exodus 18:1-27; Ephesians 4:31-5:21) Friday: (Exodus 19:1-24; John 6:22-40 // Genesis 3:1-15; Romans 5:12-21), Saturday: (Isaiah 52:7-12; Hebrews 2:5-18// 1 Samuel 2:1-11; Matthew 1:18-23)
COMING WEEK: (4th SUNDAY OF LENT)
  • This Sunday marks out the middle of the Lenten season. It is also called ‘Laetare Sunday’, from the first word of the Introit ‘Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her’. It is also called Mothering Sunday: ‘the Jerusalem above...is our mother.’ It was customary to visit the cathedral, the mother church of the diocese, the church where one was baptised, and also one’s own mother. Today, catechumens are invited into the embrace of the Mother Church and the house of God. Today we particularly pray for the baptizands and confirmands of our parish.

  • Bible readings for the Week (Day: Morning // Evening). Sunday: Sunday: (Genesis 43:1-34; Hebrews 12:1-29 // Genesis 44:1-45:8) Monday: (Exodus 24:1-18; John 7:1-23 // Exodus 25:1-22; 1Timothy 1:1-17) Tuesday: (Exodus 28:1-4.29-41; John 7:25-53 // Exodus 29:38-30:16; 1Timothy 1:18-2:15) Wednesday: (Exodus 32:1-35; John 8:1-30// Exodus 33:1-23; 1Timothy 3:1-16), Thursday: (Exodus 34:1-35; John 8:31-59 // Exodus 35:20-36:7) Friday: (Exodus 40:17-38; John 9:1-41 // Leviticus 6:8-30; 1Timothy 5:1-25), Saturday: (Leviticus 19:1-18.30-37; John 10:1-21// Leviticus 25:1-24; 1Timothy 6:1-21)
 
  • The meaning of Lent. The colour of Lent is violet (purple), the colour of penitence and mourning. In Lent, we remember that through our baptism we died to sin and were raised to a new life in Christ. This penitential season transports us back to the moment of the fundamental break in our relationship with our Creator and therefore to the possibility of a fundamental healing in that relationship. We prepare for the celebration of Easter, the three sacred days of Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Day, the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection.
 
  • Ordinary Time. The time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday and between the Day of Pentecost and the beginning of Advent are the two “green seasons”, so called from their liturgical colours. This long trek of “Ordinary Time”, the thirty-four weeks   which extend from now till the end of November and the start of Advent. This time is calling us to be people of hope, particularly hope in the next generation. The colour of hope and growth is green. Indeed, from now on we concentrate on the work which affects our future.
 
  • Epiphany. The word originally signalled a visit of a king to a city of his realm, especially when he showed himself publicly to the people. Epiphany means an appearance or manifestation of God. The Eucharist of the Epiphany proclaims the greatness of the Christ. Already the infant King begins to draw the whole world to himself. The three Magi represent the three races of humanity: Asian, African, and European. We are celebrating the revelation of Christ’s divinity to all humankind as the three kings are the representatives of the Gentile nations. Their gifts have symbolic meaning: gold for a king, incense for a God, myrrh for his burial. Epiphany, in the ordinary sense, is a sudden, intuitive perception of an essential meaning, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. Let the star which lead the three Magi reveal the Redeemer’s love to us in all the details of our daily lives!
  • The meaning of Advent. The name Advent comes from the Latin ‘Adventus’, ‘coming’, ‘approach’. We remember both the first coming of the Lord in his Incarnation, and his approaching return as risen Lord in all his heavenly splendour. In advent we can contemplate the completion of the work of redemption.  The purpose of advent is the rouse once again in the people of the Church the anticipation of the End, the great day of the Lord, and to bid them be prepared for it. The four Sundays of Advent before Christmas Day have a clear theme. The first Sunday focuses on the final times, the fulfilment of all things (‘eschatology’). The second and third both focus on the ministry of the forerunner, John the Baptist.  The fourth Sunday shows the events that prepared for Jesus’ birth. The liturgical colour throughout Advent is violet, symbolizing not penitence as it does in Lent but rather the royalty of the approaching King.
