He noticed that there was something odd about the way the boy was standing and holding on to the string. He walked up to the boy and then learned that the boy was blind. He said, "Do you like flying kites?" The boy said, "I sure do." This piqued the man's curiosity and he asked, "How is that when you cannot see it?" The boy answered, "I may not be able to see it but I can feel it tugging'!" We may not always be able to identify the love of God in this world. Like the little boy, we may not be able to see love but it has a tug that lets us know it is there. Brett Blair, " By loving the unlovable, You made me lovable." St. Augustine With all good wishes… Fr. Peter A Warm Welcome to the Fatima Group of the Central Coast. May the Celebration of the event lead You and Your families and all of us . “ To Listen to what He (The Lord) tells us…” NOVEMBER MASS INTENTIONS FOR THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED November is a special month of the year for prayers for the Faithful Departed. “It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins.” (2 Mac. 12.46). “From the beginning the church has honoured the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage from them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, the may attain the beatific vision of god. The church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead”. (Catechism of the Catholic church, 1032) Remember that the Church teaches us how to put into practice mercy to our fellow man in the seven Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy is to pray for the living and the dead. Our priests will be accepting offerings for November Masses to be said for the Intentions of the Faithful Departed. If you would like to have a Mass offered for the faithful of a loved one. Please take an envelope and fill in the details and place it on the plate during the offertory. Please note that all Mass intentions offered will be prayed for at all Masses, we just cannot fit all names in the bulletin. Gospel Of Mark……………. Presented By Rtd. Bishop David Walker.
