The Year of Saint Mark

3rd Sunday in Year (Sunday Readings: of year B: Breviary: Week iii) 21.01.18.

Scripture : Jonah 3: 1 – 5, 10.

Psalm 24

R/ Lord, make me know your ways.

Lord, make me know your ways.

Lord, teach me your paths.

Make me walk in your truth, and teach me:

for you are God my saviour.

Remember your mercy, Lord,

And the love you have shown from of old.

In your love remember me,

because of your goodness, O Lord.

The Lord is good and upright.

He shows the path to those who stray,

He guides the humble in the right path;

He teaches his way to the poor.

1 Corinthians 7: 29 – 31.

Alleluia Acc: The kingdom of God is close at hand;

believe the Good News.

Mark 1: 14 – 20.

Response: Lord graciously, hear us.

Pray at all times …. Let us aid each other with our

prayers

Whilst this theme is not related to today’s readings, I write

with intent. Prayer is a powerful force at our

disposal. Jesus taught that through prayer you can ask for

every gift, whether it be for the gifts of the Holy Spirit or for

the daily bread you need. Our prayers storm heaven to win

untold graces, blessings and favours for ourselves, for others

and the whole human race. So, imagine what can happen if

we combine our prayers?

So many people ask us, the priests for prayers, but prayer is

the work of all God’s people. Therefore, we are going to

start a ‘Prayer Tree’ within our parish. The concept is

simple – when someone submits a prayer request, the prayer

tree co-ordinator acts as a root, not only praying for the

intention, but passing it up the tree. Submitting a prayer

request is easy either contact the parish office, complete the

online form or email newportprayertree@gmail.com.

Requests can be specific or as general as “a Special

Intention”.

To join the tree and pray for intentions, either submit your

details to the parish office or

email newportprayertree@gmail.com. You can choose to

join the email or telephone tree. By joining the email tree,

you will be added to a group that gets sent a list of prayer

requests as they come in. Just PRAY for those requests! As

a member of the telephone tree you will receive a telephone

call from a nominated member of the tree. PRAY for the

requests and pass them on to the next person in the tree.

It’s that simple!

Heralds of the Gospel We are all called to be heralds of the Gospel, to proclaim the

Good News of Jesus Christ to all who we meet. In the

celebration of Mass, this takes on a whole new meaning.

During the celebration of Mass, we gather to listen attentively

to God’s Word. The ministry of the Word is proclaimed in

different ways throughout the celebration of Mass, by different

people. The deacon or the priest proclaims the Gospel; he

speaks the very words of Our Lord Himself. The other

readings are proclaimed by others from the community.

This is an important parish ministry. The Heralds of the

Gospel day for has been arranged for those who already

exercise the ministry of reader within the parish, or for those

who would like to consider finding out more information about

this ministry. The day will take place on Saturday, 24th

February 2018 from 10am to 3pm at St. David Lewis

Church, Newport. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of the

Church for those who would like to attend the day.

CHRISTMAS ENDS WITH CANDLEMAS 2

nd FEBRUARY 2018

Whilst Christmastide came to an end on Monday

with the Baptism of the Lord, it is tradition in

most Christian countries to keep the nativity up

until Christ comes into his Temple at Candlemas.

Candlemas is the Feast of the Presentation of the

Child Jesus at the Temple (Friday 2nd

February

2018). As prescribed in Jewish Law, Mary and

Joseph brought the infant child to the Temple for

consecration to God and what would be the

purification of the parents. During the event

Simeon and Anna make their pronouncements

about the child. Simeon said that he is “the light

to enlighten the Gentiles”, so it is another

tradition on this day to bless candles at the start

of Mass.

It is our intention to order special candles with a

beautiful image of Our Lady in blue and gold for

people to take home. They are the standard size

of dining room candles and cost £2.50 each. If

you would like to order candles there will be

someone at the back of church this weekend to

take orders and payments, or call in at the Parish

Office between 9.00-3.00 Monday to Friday.

Francis de Sales - Patron of Catholic writers, the Catholic press,

the deaf, journalists, adult education was born August 21st

1567 and died December 28

th 1622, he was beatified in 1661 by Pope

Alexander VII, who then canonized him four years later. He was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1877. The Roman Catholic Church celebrates St. Francis de Sales' feast on 24 January He believed the key to love of God was prayer.

"By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God."

For busy people living in the world, he advised, "Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others and talk to God."

The test of prayer was a person's actions.

"To be an angel in prayer and a beast in one's relations with people is to go lame on both legs."

He believed the worst sin was to judge someone or to gossip about them. Even if we say we do it out of love we're still doing it to look better ourselves. We should be as gentle and forgiving with ourselves as we should be with others.

Do not wish to be

anything but what you

are, and try to be that

perfectly. Saint Francis de Sales.
