PEACE SUNDAY: Pope Francis’ message for this year’s World Day of Peace is ‘Forgive us our trespasses: Grant us your peace’.
The message speaks of how we must listen to the ‘pleas of an endangered humanity’, how the year of Jubilee inspires us to seek the liberating justice of God in our world and how by ‘opening our hearts to our brothers and sisters, we will restore God’s justice on earth’ and ‘move forward to achieve the goal of peace’.
YOUR SYMPATHY: Is requested for the family and friends of Bronnia Kubacki who died recently and whose funeral service will take place here on Monday January 20th at 1pm. May she rest in peace.

Seeing your Life through the Lens of the Gospel
The story is a story of abundance, the abundance of the blessings God gives us. How have you been aware of the abundance of God’s blessings? Let the memories lead you to prayer of thanks and praise for the times in your life when that joy and fulfilment have been very real to you.
