FR DAVID WRITES
Today at Mass we hear about the very real challenge of discipleship, and the potential cost of becoming friends with Jesus. The Lord invites his followers to imitate him in every way, to be willing to take up their cross everyday and follow in the path of the Lord's saving journey. Nevertheless, we are aware that this journey of tribulation does indeed lead to redemption, and the bright glory of the resurrection.
USE THE HAND SANITISER
An important reminder: the simplest and most basic thing we must do on entering the church building is to use the hand sanitiser. Thank you to everyone who has complied with all the procedures.
