Reflecting on the GospelThe disciple’s journey to Jerusalem includes both dying and rising. When we describe paschal mystery and Gospel living as dying and rising, we are using a metaphor which has a number of interpretations and implications. In this Sunday’s context of discipleship, we are saying that ministry brings us to a kind of dying (the pain of the disciple when other don’t accept the Gospel) as well as rising (the rejoicing that is ours because we are doing the work of God). The end of the journey in Jerusalem brings both the dying and rising, too: cross and resurrection. If the journey is taken alone, we will fail. We are successful, however, when the journey is faithful to Jesus’ ministry and we are open to the Power – the Holy Spirit dwelling within us – given us. Any faithful discipleship and Gospel living calls for an openness to God’s presence in us. Part of our very ministry, then, and of living the dying and rising mystery is to spend time every day in prayer being attentive to God’s presence, the gifts God gives us to be successful, and the power of the Spirit which washes over us. This kind of prayers helps us remember that the ministry is not ours, but Christ’s.
now, and the results are very satisfying, and the work is very rewarding. We are open on esdays and Thursdays from 1000hrs to 1400hrs. We could do with a few more helpers to serve light refreshments and meals, so that not everyone has to attend every day. Also, of course, there are significant running costs to cover, so donations would be very welcome. One way to donate is to become a 'Friend of the Homeless', which involves a modest annual commitment. With the impending CTIC Winter Night Shelter Scheme, coming in to effect in a few weeks time, inflatable beds and sleeping bags will be needed, so any of those you may have, surplus to requirements, would be gratefully received. Many thanks to those who have helped us so far, and to those who are helping in various ways. For more information, contact Helena, in the Office, or Bernard or Judy on 258097"if you would like to make your donation by cheque, or if you wish to make a regular donation to the Fund by

A BACKGROUND TO MODERN THEOLOGY Father Michael Morton from St. Winefride’s, Sandbach is running a series of talks on 21st 7:30pm at St. Gabriel’s, Alsager; 28
th February 7:30pm at St. Anne’s, Nantwich and 7th March 7:30pm at St. Mary’s Primary School. These talks will explore the changes in theological thinking that have taken place in the 19th and 20th centuries – a period of radical political, economic and social change that has impacted enormously on the moral landscape of our times. Full details can be found on the noticeboards ‐ flyers are also on the table in the porch.
FROM THE PRESBYTERY This Sunday at 6:30pm we welcome Jo Boyce and her CJM Music team to Church for a free concert as part of the Love Crewe Mission. No tickets are required, so fill our beautiful church. A retiring collection will be taken up to cover the bands travelling budget. A full range of events for the Love Crewe Mission are contained in our newsletter. I hope to see you at some of them. Last weekend, Robert Dykes joined us to begin his summer holiday after a great year at Oscott College. The coming weeks will see him attending ordinations, taking part again in parish life, and enjoying a good rest.
With every prayer and blessing for the week ahead. Father Jerome (Parish Priest) FINANCES Thank you for your contributions to the Offertory last weekend which raised approx. £1661.76. This includes those offerings made by standing order. Thank you for your support. RECENTLY DEPARTED

EU REFERENDUM: A STATEMENT FROM CARDINAL VINCENT NICHOLS
“A great tradition of the United Kingdom is to respect the will of the people, expressed at the ballot box. Today we set out on a new course that will be demanding on all.” “Our prayer is that all will work in this task with respect and civility, despite deep
differences of opinion. We pray that in this process the most vulnerable will be supported and protected, especially those who are easy targets for unscrupulous employees and human traffickers.” “We pray that our nations will build on our finest traditions of generosity, of welcome for the stranger and shelter for the needy.” “We now must work hard to show ourselves to be good neighbours and resolute contributors in joint international efforts to tackle the critical problems our world today.”
