THIS SUNDAY’S MASS
Scripture:
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
Psalm 28
Response : The Lord will bless his people with peace.
O give the Lord you sons of God,
give the Lord glory and power;
give the Lord the glory of his name
Adore the Lord in his holy court.
The Lord’s voice resounding on the waters,
the Lord on the immensity of waters;
the voice of the Lord, full of power,
the voice of the Lord full of splendour.
The god of glory thunders.
In his temple they all cry: “Glory!”
The Lord sat enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits as king for ever.
Acts 10:34-38
Mark 1:7-11
Intercession:
Lord Graciously hear us
An angry wife was complaining about her husband
spending so much time at the pub. So, one night he
took her along. ‘What’ll you have?’ he asked. ‘Oh,
I don’t know. The same as you, I suppose, she
replied. The husband ordered a couple of whiskies
and drank his in one gulp. His wife watched him,
then took a sip from her glass and immediately spat
it out. ‘Yuck, that’s nasty poison!’ she sputtered. ‘I
don’t know how you can drink this stuff!’ ‘Well,
there you go,’ cried the husband. ‘And all this time
you thought I was enjoying myself every night!’

Weight Training for 2015
Here is a little secret for building your arm and
shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt the
regimen for yourself – but be careful to take it
gradually. Three days a week works well. Begin by
standing straight, with a 5 lb potato sack in each
hand. Extend your arms straight out from your
sides and hold them there as long as you can.
Eventually try to reach a full minute. Relax. After
a few weeks, move up to 10 lb potato sacks, and
then 50 lb potato sacks, and eventually try to get to
where you can lift a 100 lb potato sack in each
hand and hold your arms straight out for more than
a full minute. After you feel confident at that level,
start putting a couple of potatoes in each sack, but
be careful not to over do it.

Priest : Do you want to go to heaven?
Parishioner : No Father.
Shocked priest : But you must want to go to heaven
when you die.
Parishioner : Oh, yes, when I die, Father. I thought
you were getting a party together now.

FAITH Summer Session:
Have you ever wondered how the Catholic faith can be understood in the light of the modern world? The FAITH
movement is a collaboration of priests and lay people who present elements of the Catholic faith by bringing faith and
science together. Science doesn't disprove God, it points to God as the Mind behind the cosmos. Science shows that
the human mind can investigate and interpret the material world according to patterns and laws which we can then put
to use in our own creative ways. The FAITH Summer Session is a conference for 16-35 year olds to explore some of
these concepts. It is a great opportunity to discover more about your faith and meet others from around the UK in a
social environment. The timetable is balanced to include opportunities for prayer, sporting and social activities; and a
deepening of one’s relationship with God is enabled by opportunities for Confession, daily adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament and the celebration of the Divine Office. There is a licensed bar on the premises (for over 18s only) and the
programme of evening entertainments includes a Quiz Night and the traditional Ceilidh (Scottish dancing). The
summer session will take place between Monday 3rd - Friday 7th August. Fr. Michael Doyle will be going and is
inviting any 16-35 year olds within the parish to join him. If you are interested contact Fr. Michael via the parish
office, after Mass, or email [email protected]. For more information about the FAITH movement
visit http://www.faith.org.uk

The Call, the Journey and the Mission.
An invitation from the Bishops of England and Wales to reflect on the gift of Marriage and Family Life.
October 2014 saw some extraordinary events unfold as Pope Francis invited participants from all walks of life to
attend an Extraordinary Synod to consider the ‘Pastoral Challenges to the Family in the Context of
Evangelization’. There was much media coverage surrounding the event and in further preparations for the
2015 Synod themed ‘The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and in the Contemporary
World’ the Bishops of England and Wales are asking members of the Catholic Church to reflect further on this
crucial topic.
On the Feast of the Holy Family, the Bishops’ Conference published a document entitled ‘The Call, The Journey
and The Mission’. The document invites us to reflect upon the various stages of family life - falling in love,
engagement, the celebration of marriage, the early years; children, joys and sorrows, teenage children, alone as
a couple, the elderly years; to look at this stages in the context of Sacred Scripture and Church teaching; and to
present feedback for review to diocesan Family Life Commissions.
The feedback received will be reviewed by the Bishops and help formulate Cardinal Nichols input into the Synod
later this year.
Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on this wonderful topic and to have your say.
Further information can be found on http://www.catholicnews.org.uk/reflect-on-marriage-and-family-2015
The Tuesday club have arranged a talk by Marcia
Doyle on Tuesday 3rd Feb at 10:30am to provide an
