We ask God to take our Fear.
We ask God to take away our fear, knowing of his love for us. We should always realize Jesus wants to be part of the solution to problems despite our weaknesses. Let us take him up on his offer.
The Good Samaritan
Today’s gospel challenges us to try to overcome deep-seated suspicion, enmity and hatred and to promote love.
Come to the Lord, Come to the Spirit
And the reading from Revelation gives the final, hopeful word. It is Christ’s own voice saying: “I am coming soon… Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”

‘Candlemas’
We celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas. A blend of biblical tradition with liturgical symbolism, offering us a chance to reflect on Christ’s light in our lives.
The year of the Lord’s favour
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”
