16th January
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Peace Sunday)
Dear Friends,
We are asked to pray for peace this weekend, but it should be high on our agenda at all times. Its not only where there is unrest and fighting going on. All of this begins with human beings. Where do we get our values from? Who do we look to for guidance and help? The selfishness of the times and the values we have point us in a certain direction. So what is to happen to the poor, the homeless, the refugees? We need to open our eyes to what part we play in the drama of life, at home, in the workplace, and in what we say etc. The theme of today’s gospel is “Behold, the Lamb of God”. Are our values gospel values?
Bishop Richard’s Farewell Mass
Bishop Richard will be celebrating a thanksgiving Mass at Arundel Cathedral at 6.30pm on Friday 30th January, followed by refreshments in Baron’s Hall at Arundel Castle. Due to the limited parking there, OLQH will be sharing a minibus with Camberley and Bagshot parish. We have a small number of spaces available on the minibus so places will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’d like to go, then please email Helen at frimley@abdiocese.org.uk
