Our Fresh Start!
On this Nativity of Our Lady, welcome back to all our families and individuals after a well-earned summer break. Please God we are all refreshed and eager to start anew with work, school, academy, scouts, family and chaplaincy. However, some of us may be less confident, or even apprehensive about the state of the world, and perhaps confronted with personal trials. Take courage, for you are not alone! The great thing about being part of a Catholic community is that we journey together. Yes, our relationship is first between our individual soul and God. But God created us as social beings, and He favours our mutual attention, our brotherly support, and fraternal charity.
This starts with putting the good of our fellow-worshippers to the forefront of our thoughts and intercession. This Sunday at All Saints Church in Bedford, and at Our Lady’s Church in Chesham Bois, each of us can pray for the needs he or she becomes aware of: Sweet Jesus, please help this family, this sick baby, this unemployed dad. Holy Ghost, cleanse our hearts from whatever may have hindered our relationships before the summer, and make us docile, humble, joyful in your service as we pray and meet together on Sunday and on weekdays. Our Lady, on this your birthday, help us grow as a forgiving, trusting, and loving community.
But Our Lord warns us to take steps, after we have prayed. Thus, each of us could make a practical resolution such as: I confirm attendance at the Men’s or Ladies’ group next week. Or: I email the chaplaincy to suggest a workshop or activity for the family day at Buckden Towers next 28th Sept. Or: I attend a weekday Mass this week in loving intercession for our young couple getting married next 21st Sept. Or: I put this non-Catholic in touch with my priests for possible instruction.
God bless you all! Fr de Malleray, FSSP – Chaplain
Sunday Bedford REMINDERS:
Use every space in all pews along the central aisle to allow best sight of the sanctuary during Sunday Mass at All Saints Church. You will see even better on weekday Masses at Our Lady’s Church.
Host count at All Saints: BEFORE MASS please could each communicant put one host in the container by the church entrance door when walking into the church. Thank you.
Thank you to volunteers for setting up chairs in church by 8:15am before Sunday Mass, and for setting up and cleaning the hall after Mass.
Children safety: Because of no fence along the steep riverbank, children are strictly forbidden from being in the churchyard or hall yard unsupervised. The same applies of course for access during holy Mass to the lavatories situated in the parish hall.
