For  Many  Reasons

 

We come to Mass for many reasons :                                            to receive the Lord Jesus in Holy Communion;                               to be part of the parish family of God;

we come for healing of heartache, of sorrow, of troubled mind, of hurting memories, and the                        healing of our sinful ways -we call it forgivenes

All this may happen if we remain open in heart.

 

We come to pray for others who may find it hard to pray for themselves at this time;                we come to ask others to pray for us when we are unable to muster prayer for ourselves.

 

Seeing one another in the congregation reminds us that we are part of a wide family of Faith, each with hidden needs that Jesus desires to hea
