In the parable

of the Pharisee and the Publican (Lk 18:9–14)
Jesus teaches about humility and the need to recognise our sins.
The sorrow for our sins is called: contrition, which comes from
the Latin conterere, which means: to break. The way of showing
contrition at Mass happens when we strike our chest during the
“I confess…” - it’s as if we are seeking to break our stony hearts!

The Sacrifice of the Mass

is offered for four ‘purposes’:
Adoration, Thanksgiving, Atonement and Petition; under the Old
Testament laws different sacrifices were prescribed for each of
these but all were superseded by Christ’s Perfect Sacrifice on the
Holy Cross. As Catholics we believe that the Sacrifice of Christ is
renewed in the Sacrifice of the Mass; here Jesus is both Priest and
Victim. In the offering of Mass we are, for a moment, an actual
witness to the uniting of Heaven and Earth. When Holy Mass is
offered using the three sacred languages of Latin (Sanctus, Agnus
Dei, etc), Greek (Kyrie) and Hebrew (Alleluia, Hosanna, etc.) we
employ the three languages that we used for the inscription on
the Holy Cross that read: Jesus of Nazareth is King (Jn 19:19-20).

The liturgical aim of Vatican II

was that the Baptised
should play a truly active, full and conscious part in the Mass by
offering the responses, singing and making the liturgical actions.

✝ “Picture then the High Priest Christ

leaving the
sacristy of heaven for the altar of Calvary. He has already put on
the vestment of our human nature, the maniple of our suffering,
the stole of priesthood, the chasuble of the Cross. Calvary is his
cathedral; the rock of Calvary is the altar stone; the sun turning to
red is the sanctuary lamp; Mary and John are the living side
altars; the Host is His Body; the wine is His Blood. He is upright as
Priest, yet He is prostrate as Victim. His Mass is about to begin.”\

• Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Calvary and the Mass.

The First Millennial Saint: Blessed Carlo Acutis,

the London-born, 15-year-old, who in
AD 2006 died of cancer, will soon be
declared a saint! “It is a real answer
to prayer that Blessed Carlo Acutis
will be the first millennial saint: a
saint our young people can really look
up to,” said Bishop Hudson. Every
day Carlo read the Scriptures and
prayed the rosary, he collected
clothes for the poor, he defended
children being bullied at school, he
visited the Blessed Sacrament each
day, plus created a website and exhibit about Eucharistic Miracles
from every age. ✝ Blessed Carlo prayer cards will be distributed
before Mass today so that together we can seek his intercession.

Walsingham:

Patronal Solemnity of St Thomas More, Raunds Chapel:

To celebrate this important day a series of events are taking place
on Saturday, 22nd June and you are cordially invited! The day will
draw to a close with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament at
3:50pm, Benediction at 4:40pm and a Vigil Mass for the Patronal
Solemnity at 5:00pm. See the poster in the porch for full details.

Holy Hour for Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion:

Those who undertake this vital role are invited to the Cathedral in
Northampton, or via the live-stream, on Sunday, 9th June at 3pm
for a Holy Hour as we thank God for their service to the Church.

Reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus:

The value of “reparation” in the Church was the topic of a recent
conference in Rome to commemorate the 350th anniversary of
the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St Margaret Mary
Alacoque. A great need for reparation
has arisen in the Church, marked as she
is, by the abuse of minors, division and
eucharistic sacrilege. In his speech to
the participants Pope Francis recalled
that true reparation is brought about by
Jesus and His redemptive sacrifice on
the Cross. In his closing remarks, the
Pope expressed his earnest desire that
the practice of reparation to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus be renewed as “today it
is somewhat forgotten or wrongly considered obsolete”. Perhaps
we might gaze upon the image of the Sacred Heart in our Church
and home and offer reparation and prayer for victims of clerical
abuse, disrespectful acts toward Jesus truly present in the Holy
Eucharist and the healing of divisions within the Catholic Church?

The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - Friday, 7th June…

…is a Solemnity so we can eat meat, though it is not compulsory!
Do join us for *Mass, the Rosary and the Sacred Heart Litany; the
latter will be offered in reparation for the abuse of minors, the
divisions in the Church and eucharistic apathy. *A photograph of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus will be available after Holy Mass for us
to display at home as a way of imploring the Lord’s blessing.

The assurance of prayers and congratulations to:

• Hannah and Sean on their recent marriage in OLW Church!
• Charlie, David, Dylan and Oliver on their recent Baptism!

With every blessing in this month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne
