A prayer from our Meditation on Mary this week Mary, Mother of Jesus, We honor and pray for you on your special day. Help us to be gentle as you were, Help us to model our lives after yours; To be loving and peaceful Mary, guide us with your wisdom So that we may be caring to those around us Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus, pray for us. Amen |
A beautiful poem in celebration of Mary on this feast day
(from Jamberoo Abbey)
She lies as if she were at rest
And slips away at last from all the pain and loneliness,
From all the simple joys and cares of Nazareth,
Into the glory now.
The Angel comes again to call her home.
The simple hidden lady unfolds at last
the splendour she had hidden for so long
As if the Spring had come,
As if she were a daffodil.
Arise my love, my beautiful one and come.
~ Veronica Brady

Unfortunately there is no news from the Parish due to our existing Lockdown. All masses and meetings are cancelled till further notice. We hope and pray that our State can get back to some sort of normality soon. To those children in home schooling, our thoughts are very much with you. Keep up those prayers and stay strong for each other. Parish staff are working from home and can be contacted through the Parish email address: Ringwoodnorth@cam.org.au
May the good Lord watch over us all.
