Forty
Hours
The Forty Hours Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament will take place in this
Church next weekend. It is a time of special
prayer for the parish community and begins after
12.15pm Mass. Living in whatever situation in which
God finds us, we are faced with many choices about
our lives. Christ seeks to inspire and to challenge
us every day to become more of a disciple in our
choices, options and attitudes. During the Forty
Hours, Christ is present among us in a very special
way. It is a great opportunity to allow ourselves
to be claimed by Christ.

22nd
Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday,
29th August 2010
Jesus said: “Those
who exalt themselves will be humbled, and
those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
Sometimes we think that to be humble means
that we think that we are no good and that
rightly does not fit well with us because
it does not mean that at all. We have a right
to know how good we are and a responsibility
to help others to know how good they are.
Pride means making ourselves the centre of
our world and insisting that everything revolves
around us. Humility means making others the
centre of our lives and our energy and care
are given to them. In this sense another word
for humility is love. The message of Jesus
again today and for this week is that if we
want to be really happy we have to learn to
forget about our own petty preoccupations
and ourselves and give ourselves generously
to God and to one another.
