NOTICES:
​The mid-week service will start at the earlier time of 9.15 this Thursday to accommodate the Stations of the Cross. However there will be no mid-week services after that until further notice. The Mass next Sunday will be at 9.30am. After that services may vary from week to week for several months please keep checking the web-site. 
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
​Near the beginning of Lent we are reminded of our Lord’s temptations. In the desert Jesus confronts the very nature of himself and his calling. He is tempted by worldly alternatives, which all seem reasonable but which leave God out of the picture. By putting God first in all things Jesus is not overcome by temptation. The more we prioritise the things of God above selfish desires, the better we shall be able to overcome the things which threaten to master us and which cause us to lose our way in the world and our vision of eternal life.

​                                                                               Father Richard

Second Reading: Romans 10:8-13

​Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 90
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
and abides in the shade of the Almighty
says to the Lord: “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!”
Response: Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.
 Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.
For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.
Response: Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.
 They shall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.
Response: Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.
 His love he set on me, so I will rescue him;
protect him for he knows my name.
When he calls I shall answer: “I am with you.”
I will save him in distress and give him glory.
Response: Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.
