Easter Vigil: Year A
He has risen from the dead and now he is going before you into Galilee ... [Read the whole of Today’s Gospel]
Holy Week, Year A
Almighty and ever-living God, who as an example of humility for the human race to follow caused our Saviour to take flesh and submit to the Cross, graciously grant that we may heed his lesson of patient suffering and so merit a share in his Resurrection.
Quote of the Week
“The Lord has given me a disciple’s tongue, for me to know how to give a word of comfort to the weary. Morning by morning he makes my ear alert to listen like a disciple.”
Isaiah chapter 50, Verse 4 (NJB)

Bible Study
The next Bible Study will take place on Thursday 24th of April in the Chapel at 7.30pm. As usual, we’ll look at the readings for the following Sunday - 2nd Sunday of Easter (Year A):
- Acts chapter 2 verses 42-47
- Psalm 117 (118 in most Bibles)
- 1 Peter chapter 1 verses 3-9
- John’s Gospel chapter 20 verses 19-31
These readings can be most easily found in an ordinary Sunday Missal.
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)
