NOTICES:

​The next PCC meeting is to take place on Monday 14th March at 7.00pm.

​
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
When we have an awareness of our need for God and experience his mercy and forgiveness in our lives, we increase our capacity to be merciful towards others too. Sin is destructive to our relationship with God and with others. Jesus dealt with it by focusing on the person who was in need of healing and a new beginning. Far from bringing condemnation, he brings release and newness of life.
                                                                Father Richard
READINGS:
​First Reading: Isaiah 43:16-21

 A reading from the prophet Isaiah.
 Thus says the Lord, who made a way through the sea, a path in the great waters; who put chariots and horse in the field and a powerful army, which lay there never to rise again, snuffed out, put out like a wick:

Second Reading: Philippians 3:8-14
 A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Philippians.
 I believe nothing can happen that will outweigh the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For him I have accepted the loss of everything, and I look on everything as so much rubbish if only I can have Christ and be given a place in him.
​

Gospel: John 8:1-11
 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At daybreak he appeared in the Temple again; and as all the people came to him, he sat down and began to teach them.

​
​Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 125
 When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
 it seemed like a dream.
 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.

Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

 The heathens themselves said:
“What marvels the Lord worked for them!”
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

 Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
as streams in dry land.
Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap.

Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

 They go out, they go out, full of tears,
carrying seed for the sowing:
they come back, they come back, full of song,
carrying their sheaves.

Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
