Second week of Advent PEACE
Merciful God,
You sent John the Baptist to preach repentance.
Forgive us for the times when we have done wrong, when we have hurt other people and damaged our earth, lead us to make a change, to live differently, preparing a way and making your paths straight.
Amen.
(CAFOD)
Be people of peace. Let peace live in your heart and share the peace of Christ with all you meet.

THREE PRIORITIES FOR OUR PARISH
- Be open to the Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit guide us in all that we do.
- We grow together as a Family
Let us be inclusive, look after and reach out to each other the best way we can.
- To bring other people to Jesus
Let us live our Faith outwardly and share the Joy of Jesus in our lives with others.
Keep giving Jesus to the people not by words but by your example, by being in love with Jesus, by radiating holiness and spreading His fragrance of love everywhere you go Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength, be happy and at peace. (St. Teresa of Calcutta )
God bless you all,
Fr Chris
