Alfresco Ascension Thursday
Summer Reception 2018 - Looking fabulous!!
Confessions for Easter and beyondIt is an Easter Duty to go to Confession during Lent or at least before the end of the Easter season or by Trinity Sunday. Even if it has been quite a few months or many many years since your last Confession, don't let that put you off from receiving forgiveness from our Lord - The priest will help you and Our Lord will do the rest, so don't panic!!
I am always available for the Sacrament of Confession after Holy Mass or the many times I am on Campus. Just ask me afterwards or email me. Lectio Divina Mondays in the ECC at 6.15pmEvery Monday in term time at 6.15pm in the ECC on Campus Open to all.
Lectio Divina is the prayerful way to read the Scriptures and a way of encountering Christ through a specific way of reading the Bible. “There is one particular way of listening to what the Lord wishes to tell us in his word and of letting ourselves be transformed by the Spirit. It is what we call Lectio Divina. It consists of reading God’s word in a moment of prayer and allowing it to enlighten and renew us.”. (Pope Francis in Joy of the Gospel / Evangelii Gaudium 152 |
