Notices for Week of 30 April 2023
Notices: Easter 4, 30 April 2023
Good day dear friends,
In today’s Gospel we are invited to enter into abundant life through Christ, who is the Gate. When we are conscious of being IN Christ, it is WITH Christ that we enter through the Gate into the Life and Love that is the eternal flow of the relational life of God.
Spirituality is about the life long transformation of our consciousness, of becoming aware that Life is through, with in Christ and as Christ. Taking the time to get to know Jesus as the Shepherd and the Gate is the Way to this loving realisation.
It is the way to rich, deep and abundant Life. It is the experience of Easter. Allelulia!
Love
Father Gerald+

A new six week Revive course will begin on Tuesday, May 9, “Called for Ministry.” Please keep this important discipling ministry in your prayer.
“Revive” is a program that helps equip lay leaders to be spiritual leaders. The participants will learn about themselves and discern their life’s calling; explore their faith journey and enter into a relationship with God; enjoy a sense of community and deepened relationships with peers; gain confidence with prayer, scripture, and spiritual leadership; and discern gifts for their calling to serve God’s world. Please pray for those participating in this program this spring.

For those joining us on-line, we invite you to use this prayer for Spiritual Communion:
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament. However, since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself with you, and embrace you with all the affections of my soul. Let me never be separated from you. Let me live and die in your love. Amen.
