SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
A ‘Flavour’ of the Gospel
During the month of October, we are invited to examine how we can be missionary disciples, sending out a message of faith, hope and love. In other words, what does it mean for our lives to have the ‘flavour of the Gospel’? The Gospels offer a blueprint for all those who consider themselves followers of Christ. Do we have a ‘taste’ for God, an ability to savour God’s presence in the world and God’s goodness in all those we meet? To love as Jesus loved, to have a ‘flavour of the Gospel’, means to see everyone through the eyes of our loving God and to treat them as Jesus did with immediate and generous welcome. We will notice in particular that Jesus is always on the side of those who are marginalised, those whom society wants to condemn.

We Remember At This Time…
We recently celebrated the feast day of Our Lady Undoer of Knots, a title for Mary that is both unusual and one of Pope Francis’s favourites. There is a Novena prayer dedicated to Our Lady Undoer of Knots.
Sometimes, our lives can feel tangled in the most complex knots and difficult issues. Mary’s intercession can help us loosen, untangle, and smooth out these challenges. Her faith inspires us to address our problems and leads us toward solutions and peace that may have seemed unattainable before we prayed.
Lord, help us to trust that when we seek Your guidance, You always have an answer for us. Amen!
