Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“His teaching made a deep impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority.” As Christians we believe that Jesus is the one above all others who can teach us about God. And the God that he reveals to us is a God of infinite love and compassion. At times we, as the Church, move away from this God and create a God of fear and judgement. Our responsibility is to move back very firmly to the God of Jesus. We also believe that Jesus is the one above all others who can teach us about the meaning of human life. He teaches us very clearly that human life is about love. We make it about wealth, or importance, or pleasure and we have to constantly move back to pinning our hopes on love: in marriage; in family life; in our life with one another in our faith community. This is becoming more and more important as our society changes with such speed and can leave us without roots.

St Josephs Church Cradien: I am told professionally that if we are to finish Cradien Church, and do a good job to it we will need to do the following: Internal dry lining, Ceiling decoration, Window reveals and decoration, New Plaster moulds to windows. I cannot give you the exact figure for that but we are talking about well over £50,000. We have not got that money at this time except we win the Lotto, or get a legacy. Both are possible. Maybe someone would leave money to the parish in their will. It would be a good investment. And we will spend it well also.

A second option-- but only a temporary one--- is to do temporary work externally and temporary painting inside.

The third option is to do nothing. I ask that you let me know in which direction we should go. Perhaps you might put a note in your envelope next Sunday expressing your opinion. I am aware that we are in a recession. I am also aware that many people in this parish do not pay any money at all, and are being carried by the generosity of those who do pay very generously. I accept the unfairness and injustice of this, but we can only ask, remind, and encourage. If everyone paid even a little we could do great work. I encourage all to use the Development Fund Envelope every month. This envelope is a help for us all.
