ALTAR LINEN 
Since the illness and death of Irene Rawcliffe (may she rest in peace) Fr Brady has been taking care of the Altar Linen (Altar Cloths, Corporals, Purificators, Lavabo Towels etc.) and now asks for some help. The linen has to be laundered in a very particular way according to Canon Law and so Fr Brady is happy to instruct anyone who wishes to assist in this very special apostolate, making things beautiful and noble for God. All the Altar Linen can be laundered on site and so it would not involve any financial costs to household bills, it would only require your generosity and time. Please speak to Fr. Thank you.

STAY WITH US, LORD, ON OUR JOURNEY

THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL

The original Old Testament covenant was sealed by a death and by the sharing of the blood between God (signified by the altar) and his people as a sign of new life (see today’s first reading). Israel broke that covenant by persistently refusing to keep true to the way of life which the covenant enshrined. Now Jesus’ new covenant engages us in a new alliance and gives us new life. The story told in this reading is the warranty and guarantee that, each time we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, we are bound anew into his covenant. The story is told in almost exactly similar terms in each of the first three gospels and in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. It must have been learnt and repeated by heart. There is just enough difference to show that Mark and Matthew reflect the tradition of the Hebrew communities, while Paul and Luke reflect the tradition of the Greek-speaking communities. This narrative must have been repeated again and again from the very first years of Christianity. Each time we repeat these words ‘This is my body. This is my blood’, we are entering again into Jesus’ covenant. There should be a health warning. The Mass is a serious business: are you ready to commit yourself to the Kingdom, to engage in a new and personal alliance with Christ and to live your life in Him? What obligations do we take on by receiving the Eucharist?

BAPTISMS Please see Fr. Brady after Mass if you would like your child to be baptised. A baptismal certificate for one of the parents must be provided as evidence of baptism in a Roman Catholic Church before a baptism date can be given. We welcome parents and children and by attending Masses at the weekend on Saturday at 5.30pm, Sunday at 9.00am or 10.00am which fulfil the Sunday obligation. All Catholics are OBLIGED to celebrate Mass on EVERY Sunday.

BAPTISM CERTIFICATE COPIES REQUESTS For those requesting copies of baptism certificate the office can be contacted initially and the certificate can be collected at any of the weekend Masses. This is also to encourage people to come to Mass.

SICK AND HOUSEBOUND If you know of anybody who would like Fr Brady to visit, could you please give him their name and address with postcode and a contact telephone number. Thank you.

MASS INTENTIONS AND NEWSLETTER INCLUSIONS The practice of requesting a Mass to be offered for loved ones, living or deceased, is a beautiful and wonderful part of our Catholic Tradition. Continuing this long-standing practice, you can remember someone who has died recently or many years ago. The Mass can also make beautiful gifts for any special occasion: birthdays, anniversaries, in thanksgiving for a prayer answered etc. You can offer an intention for anybody who is struggling with a serious illness or other difficulties of life. Please hand in any Mass Intentions and items for the bulletin before Thursday as the newsletter is printed on Friday Morning. There are Mass Intention Envelopes provided on the table in the Atrium. Please provide a contact number with Mass Intentions so that any discrepancies can be resolved. Thank you.

OUR LADY’S LAMP AND THE SANCTUARY LAMP These burn for seven days. Please place any intentions in an envelope with £5 in the Mass Offerings Box in the Atrium.
