RESPONSORIAL
PSALM: To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Ps
120 (121); Mt 25:31-46; Rv 3:1-6
MEDITATION:
If in the hope I should delight,
Oh Lord, of seeing You appear,
The thought that I might lose
your sight
Doubles my sorrow and my fear.
Living as I do in such fright,
And yearning as I yearn, poor I
Must die because I do not die.
Oh rescue me from such a death
My God, and give me life, not
fear;
Nor keep me bound and struggling
here
Within the bonds of living
breath.
Look how I long to see You near,
And how in such a plight I lie
Dying because I do not die!
St John of the Cross (d 1591)

PRAYER OF PEACE FOR SYRIA
O God of peace, who are peace itself and
whom a spirit of discord cannot grasp, nor a violent mind receive, grant that
those who are one in heart may persevere in what is good and that those in
conflict may forget evil and so be healed. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your
Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.

REFUGEE
CRISIS
Aidan
Cantwell, who is co-ordinating help for refugees at A&B Diocese, thanks
everyone from Star of the Sea who has offered help including accommodation and
English teaching. You will hear from him soon and/or from the local council
when refugees needing your skills and help arrive in Hastings. If you didn’t
sign the parish list but would still like to help the refugees coming to
Hastings, just click on the link at http://www.abdiocese.org.uk/ .
INEXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND CARDS TO BENEFIT
PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
The refugees we are hoping to welcome to Hastings and to
help will have been brought from the camps. Unfortunately, Christians tend to
be too frightened to go to these camps because of the anti-Christian feeling
that often exists in them. But you can help Christian refugees by buying
Christmas cards and gifts from the Aid to the Church in Need shop at http://www.acnuk.org/products.php Or you can phone them on 020 8642 8668 and ask them to send you a brochure. In
particular, you may wish to buy Advent Calendars from them as they have
Nativity scenes on them – such Advent calendars are very hard to find in the
shops among the Advent calendars featuring Barbie, Disney characters, Moshi
Monsters, Star Wars, Polly Pocket and Fireman Sam.
