CHURCH GATE COLLECTION St Agnes Parish is sending four young parishioners along with Fr Tom Clowe to the above event in Panama. The Churchgate collection this weekend is to support our young parishioners attending World Youth Day in Panama. Your generosity and support is deeply appreciated.
THE DEEP END: The reason for the season In his encyclical Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), Pope
Francis issues a warning that might resonate with us as we continue
our Advent journey. Caught up in consumerism, he says, it is easy
for us to forget what is truly important:
‘The great danger in today’s world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the
desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish
pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our
interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no
longer room for others, no place for the poor. God’s voice is no longer
heard, the quiet joy of his love is no longer felt, and the desire to do good
fades.’
In the lead-up to Christmas we often get caught up in a flurry of
‘interests and concerns’. True, much of the joy of Christmas comes
from giving to others, but there is so much focus on material goods
and spending money that it can be difficult to remember the good
news at the heart of the season. It is so easy to become distracted
by the bright lights and advertising.
This Sunday is Gaudete Sunday – Gaudete means ‘Rejoice’. It’s the
perfect time to recapture some of the ‘quiet joy’ that Pope Francis
talks about. ‘The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who
encounter Jesus,’ he reminds us. It is this personal encounter with
Jesus that we celebrate at Christmas, God becoming man, the Good
News announced by John the Baptist in today’s Gospel. This is the
reason for our joy – the reason for the season!
