WELCOME TO ST MARY OF THE ANGELS!

HAPPY EASTER !

THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Is not our Lord as meek and humble in the Blessed Sacrament as he was during his life on
earth? Is he not always the Good Shepherd, the Divine Consoler, the Changeless Friend?
Happy the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and the Eucharist in all
things!

St Peter Julian Eymard (1811 - 1868)

 Sick and Housebound

Please remember in your prayers all the sick and the housebound in nursing homes or in hospital,
and also those who care for them, especially: Ellen Leahy, Nora Mason, Helen Kennedy, Elizabeth
Robinson, Renee Potter, Gosia Gradzka, Ron Worsell.

 Our parish AMAZING prayer

Heavenly Father,
we thank you for gathering us together
and for calling us to serve as your disciples.
You have charged us through your Son Jesus
with the great mission of evangelising
and of witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us
as we discern your will
for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, and clear vision
as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish family to the care of St Mary of the Angels,
our Mother,
and ask for her intercession
as we strive to bear witness to the Gospel
and build an AMAZING parish.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
