A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
Last Sunday, we contemplated the Good Shepherd. He knows his sheep, calls them to follow him and protects them, laying down his life. This image is one that crops up time and time again. Jesus is drawing on an Old Testament tradition. God’s relationship to the People of Israel is described in these terms. It […]
Lourdes is an intensely spiritual place: a place where many have found peace, reconciliation and healing. This was no less true for us in group 154. Wheel chairs were not abandoned or crutches throw away yet healing in a far less dramatic, and yet I would argue more important, way did take place within our […]
I find myself still thinking over our time in Lourdes. It is characteristic of experiences that have profoundly drawn us to God that we need time to ‘unpack’ what has gone on. Almost two weeks since we returned, looking at the whole pilgrimage, the aspect that has stayed with me is that of joy. We […]
Reflections on Lourdes As a priest you get used to being asked to be a chaplain to a group of pilgrims. One of the great privileges you discover on these pilgrimages, as a priest, is that you receive far more than you are ever able to give. This has been doubly true for our trip […]
One of the things that hit me in Lourdes was the diversity of the Catholic Church. As we walked around the grotto for the first time, we ran our fingers along the rock. It has been worn smooth by millions of fingertips, all doing what we were doing. Our fingers, the fingers of past pilgrims […]

Jesus answered Simon Peter, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

The Church in England & Wales commemorates the Assumption of Our Lady tomorrow, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below. To mark the difference from “green” Sundays and celebrate the Solemnity, we’re using the Missa de Angelis, the music for which is in the printed Mass booklets.
And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and ... gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come.’

We’re serving bacon butties after Mass on Sunday, to extend the fellowship and have the opportunity to bid farewell to Fr John, who is returning to Nigeria.
Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’
