FROM FR TIM
✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟
CORPUS CHRISTI:
This weekend, with the Feast of Corpus Christi, we have the perfect opportunity to offer thanks to God for the many blessings that have been ours in recent weeks with so many of our children having just received their First Holy Communion and a good number of our young people the Sacrament of Confirmation. An atmosphere of joy radiated through the congregations during the Confirmation ceremonies at Christ the King and St Anthony’s last Wednesday and Thursday and Archbishop John was clearly heartened by the whole experience. The Eucharist is “the source and summit of our Christian lives” and it is what has bound us together as a community from the very beginning.
As more and more people around the world take note of the importance of Pope Leo’s encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas”, it seems to me to be an opportune moment to remind ourselves that as Christians we can make an enormous difference. Catholics alone make up 1.4 billion of the earth’s population and Christians all together number something between 2.3 and 2.6 billion, which means that we make up well over a quarter of all the people on earth. We are being called to protect the dignity of every human being and pursue the truth, which the Lord said “will set us free”: let’s renew our commitment to do all we can to respond to what is surely a renewed prompting from God’s Holy Spirit.
✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟
THE CATHOLIC PICTORIAL:
It is remarkable that the Pic as it is affectionately known continues to be so professionally produced as a free magazine by the Archdiocese each month. This month Bishop Eton features twice with a report on our Day in honour of St Gerard Majella and the Blessing in Bishop Eton School of the statue of Our Lady, given by the Sisters of the Cenacle after the recent closure of the Convent. Please take your copy and enjoy all the information about what is happening in the Archdiocese. Those of you who are married may also wish to take note of the advertisement in the Pic and in our bulletin of a ‘Marriage Encounter Weekend’ at the Archdiocesan Centre on the weekend of 27 and 28 June: remember this is Fr Andrew’s special field of interest and concern.
An electronic copy of the pic can be accessed by clicking here.
✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟
MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS:
May I just reinforce my reference above and encourage everyone to read this document. Fr. Michael Henesy drew the attention of the community to a political podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart waxing eloquent on the subject: rarely can the Church have had such a glowing endorsement from such an entirely independent source.
If you would like to read the encyclical in full - you can find it at Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Leo XIV Magnifica Humanitas (15 May 2026)
