5th SUNDAY OF EASTER

Today Father Mervyn presided at the Parish Mass and Father Martin read the Gospel, preached and concelebrated. In his sermon Father Martin used the text from today’s Gospel: “I give you a new commandment that you love one another.” He pointed out that this can be a difficult commandment to observe. He mentioned that in the Calendar we now recognise both the Catholic Saints and Martyrs and the English Saints and Martyrs  of the Reformation period on 4th May. Both Catholics and Protestants were martyred and that hardly showed the love that
Jesus said we were to have for each other.  These days we pray for Christian Unity so that the love which Jesus enjoined on all Christians can be demonstrated.
