This Week’s Live Streams
Don’t forget that the Sunday Mass will still be live streamed via Facebook and our website at 10am, followed by Children’s Liturgy at 11:30am.
The 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
This week’s Gospel is from Matthew 22: 34-40.
This week’s Gospel is one of those passages that initially seems so simple, but when we begin to realise what is being asked of us, we can see how challenging it actually becomes. Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul, and mind. Love your neighbour as yourself…
When we look at ourselves, can we honestly say that every part of our life is freely given to God and that we truly love our neighbour in this way ?
What initially seems straightforward, becomes some of the greatest challenges of our lives, yet something we should always strive towards.
You can now download this week’s newsletter and view last week’s weekly Children’s Liturgy material.
