(back of) newsletter, 6th Sept 2015

RESPONSORIAL PSALM:  My soul, give praise to the Lord.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Jer 5:21; Mt 13:10-15; Acts 28: 23-28

MEDITATION:
The Gospel today is the account of how Jesus cured the deaf man. The danger for us when we hear the accounts of these miracles of Christ is to say ‘Oh, yes, that is all very well, but miracles of healing don’t take place in our day.’ But Jesus said very clearly that if his followers lay hands on those who are sick and disabled and ask in his name for them to be healed, they will be healed.
