The chalk is a sacramental, intended for the blessings of homes. The blest chalk is taken home and you should mark the year and the initials of the three Magi (Caspar, Melchoir and Balthasar) on the lintel of the main door. Though the initials also stand for Christus Mansionem Benedicat - May Christ bless this house. The prayer for blessing a home is recommended at this time, as printed below. Write with blessed chalk above / beside the door like so: <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>20 + C + M + B + 24</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>O Lord, almighty God, bless this house that it may become a shelter of health, chastity, self-conquest, humility, goodness, mildness, obedience to the Commandments, and thanksgiving to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.</b> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The chalking of the doors of a home encourages Christians to dedicate their life at home to God and to others. Seeing the symbols over our doors can help to remind us, while passing in and out on our daily routines, that our homes and all those who dwell there belong to Christ. It also serves as a reminder of welcoming the Magi gave to Jesus. We should strive to be as welcoming to all who come to our homes to visit us! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwWrl9anvrjRNk373CF33iwH8ECk5M0mG2H7rzvEXd2Tp04j-GTY-ZBQ3MfXwjGhsn-__eBB4G0v90cD9LeyPa4IepXtLLlFuUNryNnBEOnE1LtBHrlfKDn9s4MlboHdiWY5MrLQJx-5dLNTgIQqvVITI3r-QJhRV_z8Z7-PUCoZpqE80bNLv7MnVwnJ8/s354/Picture1ll.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

Within a cascading room of drapery are positioned a group of men seated and standing around a teak table. The master of the house sits on his arm chair while his trunk and baggage are scattered carelessly around him. This suggests that he has arrived afresh from a long journey.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Light is instrumental in dividing the painting into the background and the foreground. Lurking among the grayish blue shadows and leaning against an exquisite metal railing is the wife of the merchant/master. She curiously sprawls in an attempt to catch a glimpse of her spouse. Right behind her, gazing through the window is the father, awaiting his son.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>The presence of the anticipating wife and the father illuminates the personality of the master. It reveals at once that he is a man of business and he means business. At his return, he catches up not with rest but rather with his servants in order to settle the accounts. Thus the Master is hardworking, diligent and calls for accountability.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>A quick flashback concedes that the Master had entrusted his estate to his servants before embarking onto his journey. Each servant received talents in accordance to his ability. While the first two servants bear fruit by ‘multiplying’ the talents, the third servant staggered in his liability. He not only hid the talent but buried himself in wicked sluggishness.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Located in the eschatological discourse of Matthew’s Gospel, the parable illustrates how the disciples are to wait in faithfulness until the Lord returns. The Master’s return is certain but the timing unknown. The third servant, weary of waiting, numbed his senses of the imminent Parousia. As lethargy got the better of him, he feared the risk in serving His Master.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>Eventually his mediocrity cost him dearly!</b></i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thirty First Sunday Year A. 19th November</span></b></p><p></p><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Mass at 8.30am & 10am. </b></span></div></div><div><i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i></div><div><i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Refreshments served after both Masses </span></b></i></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>in the Pope John Paul Room. </b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="color: red;"><b>Come and join us!</b></i><b style="text-align: justify;"> </b></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Monday </span><span>9.30am Mass</span></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span>Tuesday </span><span> </span></span></span></span><span>9.30am Mass</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span>Wednesday </span></span><span> </span></span><span>9.30am Mass</span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Thursday </span>7pm NOVENA & BENEDICTION</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><b> </b></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Friday</span><span> -- No public Mass today</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span><i>9am Parents with children at our Primary School are invited to join Bishop Tom Neylon for the Assembly with refreshments afterwards</i></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Saturday </span><span>9.30am Mass</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"> Confessions after Mass</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday 26th November.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Christ the King</b></span></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Mass at 8.30am & 10am. </span></b></div>Fr Simon Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375804232895565241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-21404168501316073012023-11-11T19:07:00.001+00:002023-11-11T19:07:55.597+00:00Remembrance Sunday<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ZF2e1O3TO1RuoiIvBGNLCl0mHe1725x_oyddcBD4WI_myU8HC_WzElLPvXTBIEw9v2F2_d01ReL75NjH1MBcPGntqwCD4SHGY2p1ZW_GaN3cu8MkEO0ifWudVMwW0UOnYCVCHpxPPxI61nj_YeZZ2cVp-Xd14uKWRgooVvjzel6xB-X5tX9nTP9VNVE/s331/OIP%20(2).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="331" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ZF2e1O3TO1RuoiIvBGNLCl0mHe1725x_oyddcBD4WI_myU8HC_WzElLPvXTBIEw9v2F2_d01ReL75NjH1MBcPGntqwCD4SHGY2p1ZW_GaN3cu8MkEO0ifWudVMwW0UOnYCVCHpxPPxI61nj_YeZZ2cVp-Xd14uKWRgooVvjzel6xB-X5tX9nTP9VNVE/w400-h290/OIP%20(2).jpeg" width="400" /></a><br /><b style="color: #674ea7; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
