FAITH IN FOCUS:

GETTING GOD IN FOCUS
abakkuk couldn’t
understand why his
country had been taken
over by Iraq (called Babylon in those days). After all,
they were counting on
promises from God that
they would be his special
people and he would look
after them. And so in today’s reading we hear him
complaining that God is
powerless or, at best, that
he doesn’t care.
Today our television
screens are equally full of
pictures from modern-day
Babylon. Suicide bombers, roadside bombs, people cruelly cut down at the
whim of others who crave
power or have a warped
sense of religion. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming and our minds
cannot cope with the enormity of the horror.
O
n a different level we
can find our own
lives taking a direction that
we don’t want them to. We
might lose our job, find ourselves unable to make
ends meet, suffer the death
of a loved one or the break-
down of a marriage. All would be doing violence if

all these things from hap- a Kingdom on earth that is
in process of being completed and that requires
our gradual compliance

our purpose for existing as
humanity be to discern the
will of God and his purpose for history? Could it
be that a God who overrode our decisions and the
patterns of nature would
be nothing more than a
puppeteer, pulling our

W
hen we create havoc in our own
world, and when catastrophes strike, it is easy to
blame God. But maybe we
have to take a closer look
at what we think God is.

GUARDIAN ANGELS
(October 2nd)
May the angels keep you
till morning.
May they guide you
through the night.
May they comfort all your
sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you’re sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you till morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.
Feast : HOLY ROSARY (October 7th)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “The Rosary is
the book of the blind, where souls see and
there enact the greatest drama of
love the world has ever known; it
is the book of the simple, which
initiates them into mysteries and
knowledge more satisfying than
the education of other men; it is
the book of the aged, whose eyes
close upon the shadow of this
world, and open on the substance of the next.
The power of the Rosary is beyond description.”
Rosary before the Mass on weekdays
Accept surprises that upset your plans, shatter
your dreams, give a completely different turn
to your day and (who knows?) to your life. It
is not chance. Leave the Father free to weave
the pattern of your day. Dom Helder Camara
Schools Day last Wednesday
Thank you
'Thank you' to the parish for your support
for the Schools' Day on Wednesday.
You responded to the request for help in
great number. So many of you helped
Mena Kerslake with refreshments, over a
dozen helpers serving drinks and washing up, and preparing food. The cakes
were phenomenal, and those left have
helped the Macmillan Coffee morning.
Thank you, ladies, for so you are!
To the gents who responded in bench
moving in great number, thank you for
your muscles, and a huge thank you to
those who came to see what 300 children were doing. They experienced
'church' in a new and exciting way -a day
they will never forget, made possible by
your help. Thank you to the whole parish! Mark and Carole Philpot
