RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER:

Exodus 12; Psalm 21 (22); Isaiah 42: 1-6;   52: 13-53; Hebrews  5: 1-10

MEDITATION:

We learn the secret of resurrection when we learn the secret of the cross. Every cross leads to resurrection.  St Paul said, ‘I share in the passion of Christ, to share in his resurrection … You have undergone death, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Christ is your life and when he is made manifest, you too will be made manifest in glory with him.’

George Basil Hume OSB, Searching for God  p144

THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARISHIONERS

AND ANTHONY FROM THE ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

who kindly donated items and white goods for the elderly learning-disabled gentleman who volunteers at Little Gate Farm and who has fallen into financial difficulty. I personally have been humbled by the kindness shown by many of the parishioners at St Mary Star of the Sea, thanks to whom he has a fantastic array of household items to keep him comfortable, including bedding and crockery. Thank you for helping us to help him.   Claire Cordell, Little Gate Farm
