Father Hughs Message

Dear Friends in Christ,

Lent is a funny old time of year. It could be asked “why are we so sorry for our sins during Lent particularly; surely this should be the case all the time?” Yes, but perhaps it is because during Lent we are made especially aware of the sufferings of Christ, particularly through such devotions as the Stations of the Cross.

We quickly see the connection between our sins and Christ’s sufferings and we are sorry and seek to make amends. This is a very natural and human thing to do; but we realise that nothing we can do will be sufficient to make up for our sins – only the sacrifice of Calvary can do anything about that. Yet we do feel a strong need to do something to make amends; we do penance even if we realise that this is a mere drop in the ocean. It is a good and holy thing to do so please make good use of all the opportunities available to you during Lent.

This Wednesday evening we have our next talk which is on the subject of “Heaven” – something to cheer us up! Our speaker will be Fr. Patrick Doyle, a priest of the Brompton Oratory. He has studied in Cambridge and in Rome. He is also chaplain to the Brompton Hospital. Please make an extra effort to come along and hear what he has to say.

With every blessing, Fr Hugh
