Dear Brothers & Sisters, St.Columba (Tuesday) came from Ireland in 597AD to Iona by coracle to evangelise the Scots. He started a great tradition of Irish people leaving their native place to spread the Word in other lands. Many of us owe our faith to this movement. St.Ephraim (also Tuesday) a 4th cent singer-songwriter is said to have feigned madness to avoid being ordained as a priest. (cause of many a wry comment since!) A hero of the Syrian church, his many hymns which convey Christian truths in folk idioms have rightly earned him the title ‘Doctor of the Church’. St.Barnabas (Thursday) wasn’t one of the original twelve apostles, but accompanied St.Paul in his mission to the gentiles. A Cypriot by birth, his origins are commemorated in Limassol by a Catholic basilica and an Orthodox cathedral. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a major feast for all of us. After our 10.15 mass today coffee and cakes will be served in the lounge. Everyone is also invited to a feast day Mass at our Sacred Heart church Droitwich at 6.00pm & buffet afterward St. Anthony of Padua (Saturday) a 13th century Franciscan is popular in devotions all over the world. We ask his intercession when things are lost, or for people who need healing, and to be closer to the child Jesus in our lives. Immaculate Heart of Mary (also Saturday) is an ancient devotion, but was made popular in 17th century France by St. John Eudes. It owes inspiration to St Luke’s gospel which twice states that ‘Mary kept all these things in her heart’. Mary points the way for us to listen to the Holy Spirit deep down in our heart and to treasure what we hear.
