3rd Week of Ordinary Time, Year B
Almighty Father, the love you offer always exceeds the furthest expression of our human longing, for you are greater than the human heart.
Quote of the Week
“Those whose life is buying things should live as though they had nothing of their own; and those who have to deal with the world should not become engrossed in it.”

Bible Study
The next Bible Study will take place on Thursday 29th of January in the Chapel at 7.30pm. We will look at the readings for the following Sunday - 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B):
- Deuteronomy chapter 18 verses 15-20
- Psalm 94 (95 in most Bibles)
- 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verses 32-35
- Mark’s Gospel chapter 1 verses 21-28
These readings can be most easily found in an ordinary Sunday Missal. The gospel can also be read on our this Sunday’s Gospel page
Do you sometimes hear a reading at Mass and find yourself a bit puzzled by it? Do you sometimes feel that what you hear doesn’t quite seem to ‘ring true’, but have a sense that ‘perhaps there’s more to know’ that might make things clearer?
The homily (‘sermon’) at Mass isn’t the place to try to explain everything about all the readings. Its purpose is to draw something out for us, and to lead us into the celebration of the Eucharist. There are, of course, some questions about the faith that remain with us, but the Bible Study is very much the place to look at many of the others. Each week then, our Bible Study looks at the readings for the coming Sunday Mass with the underlying question, ‘How will these readings make us better Christians?’
- Read: We begin by hearing each reading in turn.
- Listen: After each reading we take a little bit of time to take it in.
- Look: After we have read all the readings, we look at each in turn.
We look at a little bit of background, and then try to see how it all fits
together with our daily lives, how it can shape the coming week. - When: every Thursday, 7.30pm-8.45pm
- Where: in the Chapel (inside the church to the right of the Sanctuary)
