SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD - Sunday 26th January has been set aside for the Word of God so as to appreciate the inexhaustible riches contained in that constant dialogue between the Lord and His people. Pope Francis has asked that this Sunday be devoted to the celebration, study and sharing of the Word of God.
Theme: “They showed us unusual kindness”.Acts of the Apostles (27:18--28:10).
Father, Your precious word illumines
our steps and without You
we remain lost and disorientated.
Holy Spirit, teach us through Your word
and each other to travel our Father’s path together, walking gently on Creation.
May each gathering of Your people
in churches everywhere crave
Your guiding, consoling and transforming presence. Give us the honesty we need to recognise when we lose or obscure Your light for others. Give us grace to hold onto You, ready and able to share Your light. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus, who calls us His followers, to be light to the world. Amen.
‘Look there is the Lamb of God’
We were always told as children that it was bad manners to point a finger at somebody. It is true, however, that there are times in life when it behoves us to point the way forward for others. This is especially the case for people of faith. We are faced with a very basic choice proposed by English writer HG Wells: ‘If there is no God nothing matters. If there is a God nothing else matters’. If we accept the latter proposition we must act. We are our brother’s and our sister’s keeper. As the Roman philosopher, Cicero declared over two thousand years ago: ‘not for ourselves alone are we born’. Like John the Baptist in today’s Gospel we must be continually pointing the way to the One who is the Way. Personal example is the best way to lead others to Christ. ‘Don’t tell them; show them’.

Do not be anxious: Do not look forward in fear to the changes and chances of life Rather, look to them with full confidence, that as they arise. God, to whom you belong, will in love enable you to profit by them. God has guided and guarded you this far in lifeIf you but hold fast to God’s dear hand
Our God will lead you safely through all your trials. Whenever you cannot stand on your own
God will carry you lovingly in His arms.
Do not be anxious about what might happen tomorrow . The same Eternal Father who takes care of today Will take care of tomorrow also
Either you will be shielded from the suffering
Or you will be given unfailing strength to bear it. So be at peace then ; Put aside all useless thoughts All the dreads : All the anxious imaginations. A MEN

Hymns
Lord Of All Hopefulness
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy. Whose trust ever childlike No cares could destroy. / Be there at our waking and give us we pray. / Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
at the break of the day. / Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith. / Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe. / Be there at our labours and give us we pray / Your strength in our hearts, Lord,/ At the noon of the day.
Christ Be Beside Me.
Christ be beside me, Christ be before me, /Christ be behind me, King of my heart,/ Christ be within me, Christ be below me,/ Christ be above me, never to part. Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand. / Christ all around me, Shield in the strife. / Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting. / Christ in my rising, light of my life.
Let There Be Peace.
Let there be peace shared among us./ Let there be peace in our lives / May now your peace sweep this nation./
Cause us O Lord to arise/ Give us a fresh understanding,
Brotherly love that is real. / Let there be peace shared among us,/ Let there be peace.
.
