Father Hughs Message

Dear Friends in Christ,

When a young tender soul (much like myself, obviously) decides to become a priest, you have to go through years of study and training. One of the subjects we learn about is liturgy – the worship of Almighty God. Our tutor for this always said that we must remember that the Mass is a prayer. Sounds simple but can be easy to forget as we go through the different parts of the Mass. The whole of the Mass is one long prayer from the moment we begin to the time we are sent forth from the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice.

As we all know, there is a new translation of the Mass coming very soon. In the new instruction to the Roman Missal (a users guide for the Mass!), we are told that we should make an act of reverence the moment before we receive Holy Communion. This should normally be a genuflection but if your knees can’t take it, we can all at the very least bow before receiving Holy Communion. Many parishes have already started doing this and it is time we made a good start.

In the gospel today, we hear the disciples say, “Teach us to pray, Lord.” He taught them the Lord’s Prayer, and He gave us the Eucharist. I invite you today to enter into deep adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every time you receive our Lord in Holy Communion.

With every blessing, Fr Hugh
