Trinity Sunday (Sunday Readings: of year C ::: Weekdays of year 11 ::: Breviary: Week iv)

Scripture: Proverbs 8: 22 – 31.

Psalm 8. R/. How great is your name, O Lord our God,

through all the earth.

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,

the moon and the stars which you arranged,

what is man that you should keep him in mind,

mortal man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him little less than a god;

with glory and honour you crowned him,

gave him power over the works of your hand,

put all things under his feet.

All of them, sheep and cattle,

yes, even the savage beasts,

birds of the air, and fish

that make their way through the waters.

Romans 5: 1 – 5.

John 16: 12 – 15. .

Intercession : We pray:

Response : Praise to you most Holy Trinity

An embarrassed woman approached the priest after a

church service. ‘I hope you didn’t take it personally,

Reverend, when my husband walked out during your

sermon.’ ‘I did find it rather disconcerting,’ the vicar

replied. ‘It’s not a reflection on you,’ insisted the

churchgoer. ‘He has been walking in his sleep ever

since he was a child.’

******************

Three men wanted to attend the Olympic Games but

they had no tickets to the events. As they stood

around watching, they noticed that the participants in

the games all went in at a certain gate and that many

were carrying sports gear for their event. The three

began to get creative and as they looked around, the

first spotted some electrical conduit left over from

construction work. He picked up a length of this pipe,

walked up to the gate, said ‘Pole vault’ and they

waved him in. The second guy discovered a manhole

cover, picked it up, walked up to the gate, said

‘Discus’ and they waved him in. The third guy

looked for some time before he spotted a roll of

barbed wire. He picked this up, threw it on his

shoulder, walked up to the gate and announced,

‘Fencing.’

**********

An atheist was climbing up a rock face and realised he

was in danger of falling. He clutched a bush, but

knew that it was only a matter of time before he

would have to let go. He shouted at the top of his

voice: ‘Please help me. Is anyone there?’

A voice responded, “Let go. This is God. I will catch

you.”

There was a long pause and then the man said,

“Excuse me. Is anyone else there, please?.

***********

A lady, whose husband had been a waiter at a large

restaurant, attended a séance after his death. She

suddenly felt a message coming through from the

other side. “Jack, Jack, is that you?” she shouted.

“Speak to me. Come to me, Jack.”

The voice came back: “I can’t, it’s not my table,”

CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION

The Corpus Christi Procession in Bute Park has unfortunately had to be cancelled, although a Centenary Corpus Christi Mass will take place later in the year.

However on Sunday 29th May at 3:00pm, by kind permission of the Sisters of Nazareth, a Corpus Christi Procession will be held in the gardens at the front of Nazareth House. Although a separate event in the light of the above cancellation this will be open to all. There is limited parking at Nazareth House, but some parking is possible on North Road, adjacent to Bute Park.

PARISH PASTORAL TEAM

PARISH OFFICE

SILENCE As priests, deacons and sisters working within the parish we are faced

with a pull from two sides: we regularly hear from one group of

parishioners that they find the noise of chatter before Mass distracting

and even damaging to their spiritual growth. Some people have left the

parish stating those reasons. If we talk about silence, we hear from (or

are gossiped about by) parishioners as making the church “unfriendly.”

There’s no pleasing everybody, and there’s some truth in both

perspectives (except gossip, which is toxic). So how can we encourage

what Christ prayed for at the Last Supper, unity among his disciples?

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the

breaking of bread and to prayer (Acts 2:42) I know that many people find silence “empty” and uncomfortable. Let me say

a word about that. In silence we meet our deeper selves — our consciences,

our fears, our hopes, the Word of God within us — and most human beings

flee from that encounter. But there’s an unnecessary degree of discomfort

because we don’t know anything that can make silence useful for our spiritual

growth. So here are a few things to do with five minutes before Mass:

Read — or reread — the Scriptures for the Mass that’s about to begin.

Listen for the voice of God in what you read; mull over any word or

phrase that strikes you.

Think back over the week: Ask God to uncover for you where you succeeded in being His voice, His hands, toward others over the past

week.

Ask God to uncover for you some place where you’re blind to His will, so that you can pray and work on changing that.

Pay attention to your breathing, as a way of gently putting aside the

tensions and worries of the past and future, so that you can be fully attentive to what is about to take place.

Pray that someone unknown to you in the congregation will be helped

through a great struggle or moment of crisis by your prayer.

Congratulations to Monsignor Finbar O’Leary who

celebrates the 50th Year of his ordination on Friday 3rd

June 2016. He is now the Parish Priest in Bandon, County

Cork where his Mass will be celebrated. All are welcome.

He served this community in Newport, Cwmbran and

South Wales for years but much of his time was spent

living and ministering to the disadvantaged in Ecuador,

South America. Please remember him in your prayers.

This month, we are thinking particularly about the people

who clean the church and the people who maintain the

church. Their hard work means that our church is a

beautiful and safe place in which to worship God, to meet

with old friends and make new friends. Thank you very

much Folks.

There will be a meeting of the Natter's Group on

Thursday, 26th May. We will meet at 1.30pm to say the

rosary, followed by an afternoon of tea, cakes, biscuits and

friendly conversation. Everyone is welcome to join us.

It was good to see so many of our friends from our

companion churches at the concert on Saturday at the

Christchurch Centre on Malpas Road. Our thanks go to all

the people who made the afternoon possible.

Please can you return your red mission boxes for counting

to Sue Thomas.
