32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) Ps4 10th Nov 2019 Resurrection of Body: The Bible tells us that when Jesus returns to earth, he will physically raise all those who have died, giving them back the bodies they lost at death. These will be the same bodies people had in earthly life—but our resurrection bodies will not die and, for the righteous, they will be transformed into a glorified state, freed from suffering and pain, and enabled to do many of the amazing things Jesus could do with his glorified body (see 1 Cor. 15:35–44, 1 John 3:2). The resurrection of the body is an essential Christian doctrine, as the apostle Paul declares: “[I]f the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished” (1 Cor. 15:13–18). Catechism of the Catholic Church: “We believe in the true resurrection of this flesh that we now possess’ (Council of Lyons II). We sow a

corruptible body in the tomb, but he raises up an incorruptible body, a ‘spiritual body’ (cf. 1 Cor 15:42–44)” (CCC 1017).

Today’s collection is for the sick & retired Priests Fund.

Please give generously & help ensure our sick & older Priests

are financially supported, having given us a lifetime of

dedicated service. They have baptised us, welcomed us into

Church & offered comfort & prayer at times of sorrow. Now

we have a chance to give back & ensure they have peace of

mind during their senior years. The fund is used to cover

their essential needs at a time when they may be facing

failing health & declining mobility. Your gift could help

ensure our sick & retired Priests have the housing, care &

support they need. Please give generously, thanking you in

advance for your kindness.

Christmas Cards supporting CAFOD are available to

purchase in the narthex. Price is on the reverse

side of each pack.
