TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME– 20th SEPTEMBER 2015
Year (B) Volume 2 Parish Mass Book Page 135 (Psalter week 1)
FROM FR JOHN: Whose glory do you seek? There can be no share in God's glory without
the cross. When Jesus prophesied his own betrayal and crucifixion, it did not make any
sense to his disciples because it did not fit their understanding of what the Messiah
came to do. And they were afraid to ask further questions! Like a person who might
receive bad news from the doctor and then refuse to ask further questions, the
disciples too, didn't want to know any more. Therefore we may ask ourselves.....how
often do we reject what we do not wish to see? We have heard the good news of God's
word and we know the consequences of accepting it or rejecting it. But do we give it
our full allegiance and allow the Word of God to mold our lives? This Sunday we ask
the Lord to fill our hearts with his Holy Spirit and to inspire within us a reverence for
His Word and a joyful readiness to obey it.

MARIAN APPARITION APPROVED IN THE
PHILIPPINES:
A Marian apparition has been formally approved by
Archbishop. Ramon Cabrera Arguelles of Lipa in the
Philippines. The apparitions, known as Our Lady of
Lipa, Mediatrix of All Grace, took place over 15
successive days in 1948 to a Carmelite postulant
Teresita Castillo; the messages given to Castillo
stressed a need for humility, penance, praying for the
clergy and the Pope, with a particular emphasis on
dedication to the Holy Rosary. This past Saturday,
Archbishop Arguelles made public the canonical
results of an investigation by the Congregation for
Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments,
which declared the apparitions to be of "supernatural
character" and "worthy of belief." Our Lady of Lipa,
Mediatrix of All Grace.....Ora pro nobis (pray for us).

YEAR OF MERCY RETREAT (Rome, Italy):
Pope Francis has announced the Year of Mercy beginning this
December. The Year of Mercy retreat will take place in Rome (Italy)
during the Divine Mercy Weekend which is from the 31st March to the
3rd of April.
For more information please consult
http://www.marriagesformary.com/ Also if you would like a brochure
of information you are asked to contact the parish office. Space at the
retreat house is limited. The retreat is being lead by Fr John.
Spiritual Direction: Spiritual Direction is a wonderful means of
exploring and deepening our unique relationship with God. A Spiritual
Director helps people to reflect on their life and experience in a
prayerful atmosphere and helps them discern where God is in their life
and how they might become more open to His presence. If you would
like more information about receiving spiritual direction, please
contact the parish office and ask to speak with Fr John.
Is God Calling You to Service: The grace of the
Holy Spirit at times calls us to serve God in a
special way such as the priesthood, permanent
diaconate, religious or consecrated life, or even
the life as a hermit. We remember the words of
St. Pope John Paul II who said “be not afraid”!
Men and women are encouraged to take the next
step and call the parish office and ask to speak
with Fr John.

CATECHESIS - ON RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION:The General Instruction of the Roman Missal of 2012 section 160 states the
following: The Priest then takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants, who usually come up in procession.
It is not permitted for the faithful to take the consecrated Bread or the sacred chalice by themselves and, still less, to hand
them on from one to another among themselves. In the dioceses of England and Wales Holy Communion is to be received
standing, though individual members of the faithful may choose to receive Communion while kneeling. However, when they
communicate standing, it is recommended that the faithful bow in reverence before receiving the Sacrament. Section 161
states, if Communion is given only under the species of bread, the Priest raises the host slightly and shows it to each, saying,
The Body of Christ. The communicant replies, Amen, and receives the Sacrament either on the tongue or, where this is
allowed, in the hand, the choice lying with the communicant. As soon as the communicant receives the host, he or she
consumes the whole of it.
(If, however, Communion is given under both kinds, the faithful are reminded that when the precious blood is offered the
Priest/deacon or extra-ordinary minister of Holy Communion raises the sacred chalice slightly and shows it to each, saying, The
Blood of Christ. The communicant replies, Amen, and receives the Sacrament.)
Catholics are reminded that when receiving the Sacrament they are to be in a State of Grace.
TOWN CENTRE PARKING
Sacred Heart Parish has for hire a secure parking garage for one car. Located in the town center of Bournemouth on Albert
