Reflection
You may have heard the comment: "It's easy to be a Christian because you know that when you die the only question you will be asked is "Did you feed the poor?"
Archbishop Oscar Romero, friend of the poor who was martyred in 1980 comments:
"Inside the heart of every person there is something like a small intimate cell to which God comes down for a private conversation. And it is there where a person decides their own destiny, their own role in the world. We live too much outside of ourselves. Very few people really look inside themselves, and that's why there are so many problems... If all of us who are burdened by so many problems were to go into that little cell right now, and from there, hear the Lord's voice speaking to us in our conscience, how much could each of us do to improve the environment, society and family we live in?"

The office will be closed from Wednesday 31st December and re-open Tuesday 6th January.
As Joy will be on annual leave during the month of January it would be best to phone ahead first.

Quotes
What is the essence of prayer? "The essential act of prayer is to stand unprotected before God. And what will God do? God will take possession of me. For God to do this is the whole purpose of life."
