A GOSPEL CHALLENGE
Loving our neighbour as ourselves is a necessary element in giving our hearts and minds to God and that is where the challenge lies. It is wonderful in theory but difficult to put into practice. To love one’s neighbour can be challenging especially when the people next door are inquisitive and their children downright bad-mannered, not to mention the work-mate who is trying on our nerves. To show love in such circumstances is dreadfully difficult and demands great effort and yet, more often than not, we meet God in such an encounter. Make no mistake, our religion becomes an escape and our holiness an illusion if we pray daily, go to church on Sundays, yet cut ourselves off from the people who are worshipping under the same roof as ourselves. God cares about how we treat others. Everyone is made in his image and likeness.

GO AND TELL
In this Jubilee Year dedicated to St. Paul, we are reminded of the urgency to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the world. There can be no slackening or stagnation in the essential mission of the Church to evangelise all people. Today there are countless people thirsting for hope and love who are still waiting for the proclamation of the Gospel.
The Gospel is a life changing communication that gives hope. Without Christ, humanity is without hope because it is without God. God is the great hope that sustains the whole life. The love of God for us prods us to missionary activity. Evangelisers must drink from the original source, which is Jesus Christ. It is from his pierced heart that the love of God flows. Only from this source can care, tenderness, compassion, hospitality, availability and interest in people’s problems be drawn.

O Sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.
You are the season of full barns and harvested fields.
From you I wish to learn the virtue of contentment.

May I know that I am rich beyond measure in the abundance of God’s grace.
As you Autumn, take pleasure in your great bounty,
let me also take delight in the simple things in life, which are the true source of joy.
O sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.

DAY FOR LIFE 2008—MENTAL HEALTH
Mental ill-health can happen to anyone—1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem at some stage in their life. This year’s Day for life hopes to raise awareness of
the needs of those affected by mental ill-health, their family, friends, carers and the support that the parish community can bring.
Much of Jesus’ earthly ministry was to those who were oppressed by mental illness. He came to bring those living in the margins of society back into the heart of the community.
Through our support we too can bring hope to those who suffer isolation in our community. Offering the hand of friendship is a crucial step towards a person’s recovery.
In the words of Pope Benedict: - “I invite you to pray for those with mental health difficulties:- that they are not placed on the margins, but treated with respect and lovingly supported as they live their life with dignity”.



DAY FOR LIFE 2008

“Why be envious because I am generous”?

Today’s Gospel goes far beyond our human sense of justice. The owner of the vineyard pays all his workers the same despite having worked different hours. This seem so unjust to our narrow way of looking at things.
But in the parable, Jesus is giving us a picture of the generosity of God. God’s goodness and love goes beyond human justice. It has no limits.

Our only response to God’s generosity is humble thanksgiving. There is no point in trying to compare ourselves to one another. Instead, we are invited to acknowledge that all we are and have is a gift from God who is boundless in mercy, goodness and love.

“The Son of Man must be lifted up so that
everyone who believes may have eternal life in him”.

Today’s feast—The Triumph of the Cross—reminds us why we come to venerate the Cross on Good Friday. Just as Jesus carried his cross to Calvary, so Jesus is with us in the crosses we have to carry. He walks with us in love and ultimately, his love is stronger than death.

So the cross is no longer a symbol of defeat, but a powerful reminder to us of our victory in the risen Christ and the promise of eternal life to all of us.

“God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life”.
