HIDING FROM
GOD When we run away from life and responsibility, we are hiding from God. Nevertheless, God does not hide from us. He
was available to help St. Peter who was drowning and as He spoke to Elijah in
the sound of a gentle breeze, so He speaks to us and encourages us to live
again. Let us, therefore, not despair but put our trust in the Lord’s goodness.
LUX, CALL Saturday 24th
September 10.30am to 3.30pm.
A day for young people (15 to 25 years old) at St
Mary’s Parish Hall, Woburn Sands, to give them the opportunity to discover more
about their vocation. It will be led by Father Christopher Jamison O.S.B. The cost just £5.00. Further details www.nymo.org/call or contact Liz on 01844

RECEIVING
HOLY COMMUNION The Instruction on the Roman Missal says that an act of
reverence should be made before receiving Holy Communion. The Bishop’s
Conference of England and
THE CREED –
I BELIEVE the first words of the Creed are one of several changes
to that text. When the Creed was proclaimed by the Bishops at the council of Nicea (325AD) they used the first person, I. We have been
used to saying “We believe” and it is true that we do share the same faith we proclaim.Yet we cannot speak for another person in exactly
the same way as I speak for myself. I have to proclaim my personal faith and
take responsibility for how I live it, not anyone else. You will notice other
changes too in the Creed all trying to come closer to the original text.
