POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF SAINT JOSEPH <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; In you Mary placed her trust; With you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, Show yourself a father, And guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, And defend us from every evil.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The journey of discipleship<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our opening reading from Mark\u2019s Gospel captures the elation of the crowds who welcome Jesus in Jerusalem. They spread greenery on the road in front of him, they lift their voices in praise, singing \u2018Hosanna! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord!\u2019 But their hope and loyalty is short-lived, as we discover in our reading of the Passion. Jesus is left almost alone to face humiliation and death. His followers have heard his radical message of reversal and upheaval, but when it comes down to it, the challenge is too much. We are told \u2018they all deserted him and ran away\u2019. While Peter follows Jesus at a distance, he is soon denying he even knows him. Soon, the crowds are shouting for Jesus to be crucified.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We are very familiar with the Passion Gospel and it can be tempting to allow ourselves to tune out, particularly when it comes to the unpleasant parts. We do not like to think of ourselves as part of the mob shouting \u2018Crucify him!\u2019 Yet if we enter fully into the experience, we can see ourselves in the story. When things are going well, it is easy to praise God and shout \u2018Hosanna!\u2019, and promise we will not lose faith. There are other times we fall asleep, become complacent. And then there are days when we struggle, when we are confused or do not know what God expects of us or whether we are able to handle the difficult times. We pull away from God. The different disciples display this range of human reactions and emotions. This week, Holy Week, we are the disciples walking with Jesus on a journey that leads to the cross. And yet here at the cross, we find Mary Magdalene and the other female disciples, and Joseph of Arimathaea. We know the story is not over for these disciples, or for Peter and the others. The journey of discipleship is just beginning.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018We don\u2019t have to be able to articulate all the logic of what is happening now. But Christians walk on with the conviction that there is One who does make sense of the apparent madness of shattered human dreams.\u2019 (Bishop Donal McKeown)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Courage Pentecost\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Courage Pentecost seeks to provide the solidarity within Christian Churches so we can carry out acts of courage together, supporting, inspiring and encouraging one \u00a0another. On each of the 50 days between Easter Monday (5th April 2021) and Pentecost Sunday (23rd May 2021), Courage Pentecost \u00a0will share an image and suggest a courageous action that can be taken in the face of sectarianism and paramilitary violence. Each step is invitational rather than aspirational. Courage Pentecost is for all of us (not just the heroic and famous few), because we can all contribute to a more reconciled society. These contributions could be anything from a private act of prayer to a public act of witness. Join us on our Pentecost Journey of Courage! Together we can step forward bravely. Sign up with your email at \u00a0www.couragepentecost.com\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and we will send you all the details. #couragepentecost\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

clocks go forward on Sunday 28th at 1am<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
