LITURGY OF THE WORD (READERS). Sincere thanks for those parishioners who have already volunteered to read the Scriptures at weekend masses and important Liturgical Feast Days. A rota of readers is being prepared and will commence on the first weekend in December. We would welcome some more readers so that those who are willing to serve will not be called on too often during the year. If you would like to participate in this ministry please contact Mary at the Parish Office or Michelle at the Post Office.
Reflection
Preserve me God, I take refuge in you.
My Happiness lies in you alone.
You are my portion and my cup,
you yourself are my prize
I keep you ever in my sight,
even at night you direct my heart.
With you at my right hand, I shall stand firm.
And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay.
You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand happiness for ever.(From Psalm 15)
