Newsletter April 6th 2025/ Fifth Sunday of Lent
Mass Readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent Year C
- First Reading – Isaiah 43:16-21: God, who controls nature and armies, urges to forget the past and see His new works: paths in wilderness, rivers in deserts, providing for His chosen people, made to praise Him.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 126: When the Lord restored Zion, our joy was like a dream, filled with laughter and praise. Nations recognized His great deeds. We pray for continued restoration and joyful harvest.
- Second Reading – Philippians 3:8-14: Everything is considered a loss compared to knowing Christ. Righteousness comes from faith, not law. Striving to know Christ’s power and share His sufferings, we press on towards eternal life with Him.
- Gospel – John 8:1-11: At the temple, Jesus encountered a woman accused of adultery, brought by scribes and Pharisees seeking to trap him. He responded wisely, suggesting only a sinless person should cast the first stone. This led her accusers to depart, and Jesus, left alone with the woman, chose not to condemn her, advising her to abandon her sinful life.
We have added a Prayer Intention Form to the parish website.
You can use this form to request prayers from the Clergy in the Parish. The intentions will be included in the 9.30am Mass, Novena & Benediction each Monday morning, in Ss. Peter & Paul’s Church. You can include as much or as little information regarding the intention as you would like to.
These intentions will not be made public and will be shared only with the priests of the Parish by the Parish Secretary.
Should you wish a member of the parish team to contact you please fill in the second section.
