The Word This Week
The Church’s year is drawing to a close: in a few weeks we will be thinking very
clearly about the end of time - but here we have a preview. The parable of the
banquet is a link between the Gospels of recent weeks (which have as their
theme: ‘Just who is going to be saved?’) and the looking forward to the end
times which will follow. The big danger is complacency: we are baptised, we go
to Church, we have our invites to the wedding. But when the big day comes, will
we be ready for it? Or will our thoughts be on the other things of life? Jesus
speaks of himself as the Bridegroom, and today points out to the chosen people
that they are in danger of missing the celebration. Our faith is that the
Bridegroom will come again; let us be careful that the same parable is not
addressed to us.

Why Thou rather than You?
When we pray the Rosary together in Church, the pronoun
thou may be used to imply closeness of relationships and
affection, and is an appropriate form of address for Our Holy
Mother as well as for the Holy Trinity.

The intention for the Living Rosary for the month of
October is for all children who are suffering from the affects
of disease and war, that God restores their happiness.
