St Mary’s Parish Prayer
God our Father, as we thank you for the blessings, we ask you to bless this Parish of yours, so that
we may love you more.
Encircle our families with your loving care.
Help parents to be good examples to their
children and our youth to grow in strength as good Christians.
To the sick grant health, to the aged bring serenity and to those in sorrow, joy.
May we grow stronger in faith and may
our love for one another become deeper
in our daily living.
We make this through the intercession of our Mother Mary. Amen

Updated - On the Lighter Side
My dad always taught me to fight fire with fire: Which is probably why he lost his job as a fire fighter.
The teacher told us not to play with fire. Now fire has no friends. What’s the opposite of a fire ant? A fire resist-ant.
NEW - Prayer of The Week
The Lord drew me from the deadly pit, from the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock and made my footsteps firm.
The Lord thinks of me. You are my rescuer, my help,
O God, do not delay. Ps 40:2,17
NEW - Looking at the Readings
The parallels between Jeremiah and Jesus are striking. In their ministry in revealing the works of God, both have a persistence and confidence in the “Word of the Lord.” Both were accused of flouting the establishment and misleading the populace and both were brought before the rulers of the day, and though innocent were condemned to death.
Jeremiah and Jesus are ground breaking in confronting persecution and overcoming their adversaries. They are models for missionaries, saints and, in fact, all Christians. In the course of life there are tragedies and mishaps. Jeremiah being thrown in the muddy well is not quite a mishap nor a tragedy because he is eventually rescued. The fires and divisions, which Jesus predicted, likewise are closer to tragedies because his followers face rejection and even death for their beliefs. Yet we are not to grow weary lose heart! (Heb 12:3)
