HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

Our covetous world,

Stripped of all pretentions,

Trembles before invisibly marauding enemy.

For the first time since God knows when,

It is not the power-hungry territorial countries

Spreading unrest and even fear.

This secretive, all embracing entity

Has changed our civilised countries

Into ghostly communities.

Our homes for many, have become

A place of isolation

Missing the joy and solace

Of those who make life worth living.

No longer the sounds of children’s voices

Echo through the air.

Each week the Sunday Message, which is on the back of the bulletin, which includes a homily, will be posted on our parish website.
