Words from Canon Niall
Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
‘It’s mine and I can do what I want with it.’ This is what someone who considers himself the owner thinks as the sole owner and decision maker. Most often, this approach applies to various material things. But sometimes someone talks about their life in this way. Are we really the absolute owners of anything in this world? Can we do whatever we can think of with it? Pope Francis in the ‘Encyclical’ Laudato Si’, referring to the description of the creation of the world contained in the Book of Genesis, reminded us that God rejects all human ‘claims to absolute property.’
We are not the owners but the tenants. In every way. We do not own the world and the planet we live on. Neither are we owners of goods in the spiritual realm. We are not possessors of revealed truth or of the Gospel, or of the good news of salvation.
Have a blessed week.
Welcome to our new priest Father Andrei ~ please keep him in your prayers.

Thresholds of Hope : the Vicariate for Adult Formation - another wonderful tool when proclaiming the good news of God's grace to all. St John Henry Newman believed that the lay faithful were to take a full part in the life of the Church, to be confident in expressing their Catholic Faith and willing to share its beauty with others. Hope you find this resource useful; more here https://thresholdsofhope.co.uk/
