          REFLECTION

For every follower of Jesus there will be many occasions to launch out over troubled waters for some distant shore, at his invitation.  If we always wait for perfect conditions, we’ll accomplish little.  A fair-weather Christian will dally, while one with a burning desire to accomplish a mission will risk all in faith.  If the cause is good and faith is strong, the storm will not sink you for the Lord will be aboard and the farthest shore will be reached.  When the Master is silent (or sleeping) it’s a sign He has deep trust in you.  Give Him your complete faith and sail on.  Bon Voyage.

 

Toilet facilities at St.Hildas are in the Sacristy and to the right (follow the signs) and at English Martyrs  they are in the porch
