Accepting ourselves - and others - just as we are!
Did you know you're perfect! My authority for assuring you is a little lad in Miami who peered out at me from a picture on the classroom wall telling me, "I know I'm good, 'cos God don't make no thrash". The happy smile on his face convinced me.

How often we delude ourselves into thinking that people - and the world we live in - would be fine if only they would change themselves into what we would like them to be, and to act as we would wish them to! If only we had that magic wand for a day and the power to get others to see things the way we do, wouldn't we be living in a great world? That, of course, would be presuming that we know better than God who made us all individually and uniquely, and the world we inhabit, too. Come to think of it, did He not show a lot of creativity and imagination?

Indeed, we could make this world a better place to live in if, accepting ourselves as He created us, we could only use the talents He gave us to look after and develop the way we live our own lives, instead of wishing to change those around us. Each year in Lourdes the many sick put the "well" to shame by their courage and cheerfulness and prayer.

During my time in Washington I was privileged each year to give the opening prayer at a ceremony at which young people from all over the U.S. and beyond were presented with awards for how they coped with what the world would call 'handicaps', and had done extraordinary work to contribute to making their communities better places in which to live. The awards were presented by men and women who themselves had achieved greatness by sheer dedication, such as Olympic champions, astronauts, world leaders.

Wouldn't it be great if each of us could recognise in ourselves, and others, God's handiwork and plan. God wants each one of us to leave this world a better place because we have lived. We begin that work right where we find ourselves at this moment!

Parish Ministries:
On Wednesday last we had an interesting meeting of the Core Group of the Parish Pastoral Council.
Among matters discussed was the need for deepening the active participation of all parishioners in the daily life of our parish. This is the time of year when we take a look at renewing membership of the ministries of the parish. At the moment we have Ministers of the Eucharist and of the Word (Readers).

We will need new members and they will require preparation, which we plan to provide. So, if you would like to be a Minister of the Eucharist or of the Word we welcome you to give in your name. We would like them to be representative of various age groups and areas in the parish. When the renewal is completed we hope to make Holy Communion available to the housebound who would wish to be visited after Mass each Sunday. If you would like to volunteer for either of these ministries just hand in your name at the sacristy in any of the three churches, or to either of the priests

These are not the only Ministries in the post-Vatican II Church. Others will be considered in the months ahead. With the availability of so many Masses and modern transport it was felt that it is now more difficult to make our weekend Mass the coming together of the local worshipping community. With the increasing shortage of priests it will be vital to train lay people to play a more active role in the worshipping life of the parish. It is both a challenge and an opportunity. It demands a deeper understanding of what each received at Baptism.

Think About It
Don't let your parents down,
they brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders some day.
Chose your companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts, what you think
Is what you are.
Be master of your habits
or they will master you.
Pay attention when you drive,
Drive safely and arrive.
Resist pressure, stand up,
Or you'll fall for anything.
Keep God in your life,
He is always there for you.
