THE  SECOND  VATICAN  COUNCIL 1962

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the Second Vatican Councl in 1962.

The Beatles had just released their first single and James Bond had just hit the silver screen when 2,250 Catholic bishops from 116 countries met in Rome in 1962 to reform rituals and beliefs that appeared increasingly anachronistic. Pope John XXII hailed the crowds of faithful on the night of October 11, 1962 with a famous heartfelt speech in which he called on believers to pursue “faith, hope, charity, love of God, love of brothers and the common good.”

The Second Vatican Council — dubbed Vatican II — only wrapped up in 1965 after adopting key reforms including the chance to celebrate Mass in other languages than Latin and the idea of opening dialogue with other faiths.

GOSPEL  REFLECTION

We often get satisfaction from the things we own, clothes, cars, homes, gadgets or money. There would be something unnatural if we did not. But what happens to us when our possessions begin to ‘own’ us, when they take a hold of us, when we become obsessed with them? Jesus seeks

followers who have the freedom to let go of possessions in order to be a servant of others.

 

EUCHARISTIC  ADORATION

Private Eucharistic Adoration will take place in Emly parish church on each Saturday in October from 3pm to 6pm. We ask the Lord to strengthen our communion with him and with one another in our parish community.
