The Gospel of Life : In St John’s Gospel, speaking of himself as the Good Shepherd, Jesus says: “
I came that they may have life and have it to the full.” (Jn 10:10). Following the symbols of water
and light which we have heard in the last two weeks’ gospels, this week we hear of the raising of
Lazarus, the last and greatest of the signs given by Jesus. Even though it points us in the direction
of the Lord’s own Death and Resurrection, the raising of Lazarus is still nothing when compared to
that Resurrection which makes New Life, Eternal Life, possible for us all.
Coffee Morning : Tuesday morning in the Parish Centre between 9.30 -11.00am. All welcome.

Wednesday evening of this week at 7.30pm with an opportunity for individual confession. Please

Mass of Anointing : Mass during the day on Saturday of this week will be at 12 noon, during
which we will celebrate the Anointing of the Sick. All are welcome but anyone who wishes to be
anointed is asked to speak to me beforehand.
