A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
On Ash Wednesday my forehead was itchy due to the ashes, irritating, reminding me it was Lent. I have been irritable for days, feeling the coming change of season. I always find Lent hard. Fasting finds out all my weaknesses and I am not overly keen on the journey to the Cross. This year, however, […]
I was struck by the second reading of the Office of Readings this morning. St Augustine writes on desire for God. If you don’t have a copy of the office, it can be read here. (This is a slightly different version to the one in the Office book) One paragraph that jumped out at me was […]
The readings from a couple of weeks ago have kept cropping up in my mind. Jesus is teaching in the synagogue and all eyes are fixed on him. He speaks with such authority that everyone is amazed. Maybe in their minds they begin to wonder “Who is this man? Where does all this come from?” […]
Today
Thursday is the Solemnity of St George, Martyr, Patron of England, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 5:45pm at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below.
‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them!’
The Mass is at an unusual time because it’s followed by our St George’s Celebration, and we look forward to welcoming all who have booked for that.

“Jesus acted as if he were going further, but his disciples urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, for it is towards evening and the day is now far spent.’ So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him.”

Tomorrow is the Second Sunday of Easter, 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.
This Sunday has many names, including Dominica in Albis (“White Sunday”, from the white robes of the newly-baptised); Low Sunday (compared to the “high” Sunday of Easter itself); and Quasimodo Sunday (from the first words of the introit, “Quasi modo geniti infantes”, “Like new-born babes”). Victor Hugo’s hunchback was given the name Quasimodo because he was found on this Sunday.
“Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”
