THIS IS HOLY WEEK
Today is Palm Sunday - the beginning of Holy Week. Please take a blessed palm with you and place it at home, as a sign of your willingness to follow Christ into the mystery of his Passion, Death and Resurrection. Please take a Holy Week sheet, or see the back of this newsletter, for the schedule of Masses, celebrations and confessions in the coming week. We look forward to seeing you all especially for the Sacred Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. God bless you!

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the Fifth Sunday of Lent. Traditionally, today was also known as ‘Passion Sunday’ because it marks the beginning of Passiontide: the inner heart of the Lenten season. During this time, the statues and ornaments are veiled with purple, as the beauty of these images is taken from us for a short while. Next weekend is Palm Sunday. Please make sure you arrive at Mass in good time next week so that the blessing of palms can take place peacefully and without interruption. Thank you.

This Sunday, vested in rose, the Church bids us: ‘Laetare Jerusalem: et conventum facite omnes qui diligitis eam’, that is, Rejoice Jerusalem, and gather together, all who love her. Our Lenten journey is gathering pace and in just a few short weeks we shall gather with our eyes are fixed on the Holy City as we celebrate the great sacrifice and victory of Our Lord. Laetare Sunday is also Mothering Sunday, let us give thanks for our mothers for the love and care they have shown us.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today on the Third Sunday of Lent we hear the Gospel pericope about the encounter between Jesus and the woman by the well. Her encounter with Christ opens her heart and she becomes a messenger of faith to the people at home. After hearing her testimony, they declare that Jesus is ‘truly the Saviour of the world’. The encounter with Christ can also transform us. In Lent, we are invited to place our trust in the Saviour and to draw water from the deep wellspring of salvation. 

FR TOM WRITES
As our Lenten journey continues, let us reflect on how this sacred season is meant for our sanctification. Lent is not a diet, nor merely a time for secular self-improvement, but above all a renewal of our love for the Lord and a sincere return to His ways. This Sunday we hear the Gospel of the Transfiguration, a moment that comes before our Lord’s Passion and offers a glimpse of His glory. May this vision strengthen us, and encourage us to persevere faithfully on our Lenten journey.
