A MESSAGE FROM FR JOSEPH
Beloved friends,
At the end of my very pleasant stay in this parish, I extend my heartfelt thanks to one and all. An unknown author wrote: “The land you live in is the Holy Land”. It is not necessary to make a pilgrimage to Palestine and Jerusalem to experience God’s presence; Everywhere is present to God. We can meet Him where we live, and wherever we travel to. I had never visited “The Holy Land” but have managed to voyage to Willesden Green. This Parish has been a “Holy Land” for me, with its loveable priests and sincere and good people. My stay here has been very fruitful. It is with a renewed spirit and thankful heart, especially for the contribution of £687 towards my mother’s operation from after the final Mission Mass, I go back. Let us be united in prayer.
FAMILY FOLLOW-UP TO THIS SUNDAY’S GOSPEL (& CHILDREN’S LITURGY): Explain to your child that very often we get so busy and noisy that God's voice is completely drowned out. Try being silent together for just 60 seconds, first just as a (fun!) experiment and then asking the child to think of the words “Jesus, Help me”.
