Just as the leper in today’s gospel moves Jesus with
pity, we too are moved; moved by this man’s condition and by his faith. It was he who approached Jesus, he who asked
for healing. He surrendered himself to
Jesus by acknowledging that his healing was entirely in the hands of Jesus and
under Jesus’ own will. Are we
surrendering ourselves to Jesus when we pray, acknowledging his power in all
things? Or do we think we know
best? This leper, through his faith in
Jesus, saw the shackles of his life fall from him at the divine touch. Are we giving Jesus the same chance to change
our lives?

Annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes: The dates for the 2012 pilgrimage are Tuesday 24 July
to Wednesday 1 August overland, and Wednesday 25 July to Tuesday 31st July by
air. Preparations are well underway,
but, given the continuing fluctuation of the value of the euro against the
pound sterling, we shall delay publishing our prices until the end of February
so that we may hopefully be able to offer the best possible prices. We anticipate that despite a slight rise in
hotel costs and increased costs of the train and coaches, prices for the overland
section will be broadly the same as last year.
There may be an increase for the air section as only two dioceses will
be using the plane in sequence this year instead of three as last year. In the meantime, anyone wishing to reserve a
seat on the plane may send their £100 deposit to the Pilgrimage Office, St.
Peter’s, 16 Green Lane, Hazel Grove, Stockport SK7 4EA. A brochure and booking form will be sent
as soon as they become available. If those who have paid deposits decide not to
proceed after our prices are finalised their deposits will be fully refunded.

Some new Sunday
Missals for the three year cycle are now available to buy at the back of
church, price £15
