TODAY [1] On the Twenty-Second Sunday of Year A we celebrate Jesus our Saviour who accepts suffering and death to bring us New Life; and calls us, His Disciples, to carry the Cross of dying to ourselves in order that others might ‘come alive in Him’. This is God’s Way which we are to walk.
[2] We have the joy of baptising new disciples of Christ – in Baptism we die in Christ to rise in Christ! The only way to live a life of Faith, Hope and Love.
NEXT SUNDAY [1] We have the joy of celebrating our Patronal Feast of St Nicholas of Tolentino, rededicating ourselves to the Mission entrusted by God to our parish and inspired by this great lover of the Poor and Healer of the sick. We seek to build and renew our parish as a truly ‘Synodal’ parish. Please come in cultural dress and bring (before Mass) some cultural food to share.
PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION We pray today for our Ethiopian Orthodox Community. Giving thanks for sisters and brothers in this very ancient Church, going back to the Acts of the Apostles, it is our privilege to host them Sunday by Sunday here at St Nicks.
DIOCESAN PRAYER We pray for the parishes in communion for Mission of Our Lady & St Alphege, Bath and St Joseph, Peasedown St John, served by Mgr Robert Corrigan, Parish Administrator Isabella Lo and both their communities. Please pray also for Bishop Declan, resident in the parish.
