The  Mass is at the heart of our Catholic faith and the words we use and how we celebrate express and shape what we believe. 

During the time where the new translation is being introduced you may find it useful ready more about it and to locate documents, if so just click here.

Catholic Witness - Friday Penance:  Effective from 16th September 2011

Friday, 16th September sees the act of common witness comes into effect.  Pope Benedict XVI visit to the UK "envoked for many people the spiritual reality of life and rekindled hope and faith ... many Catholics are asking how they can witness their faith".  A resolution was released by the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales.  This was "to re-establish the practice of Friday penance in the lives of the faithful as a clear and distinguishing mark of their own Catholic identity".

The Light of the World - "This image was originally painted by the world-famous artist, William Holman Hunt in 1900 and is titled ‘The Light of the World’. Every parish in England and Wales has received a copy to commemorate the visit of His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI to the United Kingdom in September 2010. Each copy was blessed by the Pope at the Prayer Vigil in Hyde Park, London, on 18th September 2010. It is hoped that they will be used to encourage people to pray in their homes and also as a source of grace and consolation to those who are not Catholics but wish to prayerfully sit with the Image ...

...  ‘A sermon in a frame,’ is one way this painting has been described such is the richness of its imagery. Either on your own or in a small group please take a moment to observe and reflect." You are invited to continue to read more about this at the wesbite dedicated to the papal visit and from where this extract was located.  To find out more click here ...

... What next?  Heart speaks unto Heart: Continuing the Journey - 1) to know our purpose, 2) to grow in confidence, 3) to witness our faith, 4) to serve others 5) to seek to engage in dialogue and 6) to point to the transcendent ... what does this mean to you?  Reading, reflection and prayer can help to further understanding and wisdom.
