Purgatory The Catholic Church believes in Heaven and Hell after death, as well as Purgatory. But what is that place? Our Catechism explains: 'The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned...we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire...we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come.' 'This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore (Judas Maccabeus) made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin."' So who will go to Purgatory? The Catechism teaches: 'All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.' Venerable Fulton Sheen said Purgatory is a way of 'reaching excellence' and 'achieving a perfection that would be known'. And he used two beautiful examples: just like raw diamonds which look so dull and so full of flaws, and every single one would need to be cut and then polished by an expert, however it would be a rather painful process if the diamonds were conscious of it. Purgatory is also like a dark room for a photographic film, where it is treated with burning acids in order to reveal all the hidden colour and beauty. Indeed, we might have carried out a lot of seen and unseen good works or works with good intentions in our lives, but they did not always sink into the depths of our hearts and souls. As the Venerable Archbishop described: "Look at how many undone duties there are in our lives, loose ends, muddling through responsibilities, wrong turns retraced and then taken again lightly, opportunities missed, intentions were good but not wholly carried into act... " Oh yes, so many of us will not be ready. Yet, because God is full of Mercy and Love, so even His Judgement is final, He still gives these souls who die in the state of grace a chance to cleanse the remains of sin which not yet atoned for, a provision made for making up for their failings, before they reach their Eternal Happiness. (Source & Reference: Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraphs # 1030-1032 Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, "Catholic Catechism - Lesson 45: Purgatory", recorded in 1965)

29 September 2024 'God walks with His people' The Holy Father said in his Papal message: “...Many migrants experience God as their traveling companion, guide and anchor of salvation. They entrust themselves to him before setting out and seek him in times of need. In him, they find consolation in moments of discouragement. Thanks to him, there are good Samaritans along the way. In prayer, they confide their hopes to him… God not only walks with his people, but also within them, in the sense that he identifies himself with men and women on their journey through history, particularly with the least, the poor and the marginalised. In this we see an extension of the mystery of the Incarnation. For this reason, the encounter with the migrant, as with every brother and sister in need, “is also an encounter with Christ. He himself said so. It is he who knocks on our door, hungry, thirsty, an outsider, naked, sick and imprisoned, asking to be met and assisted”...on this day dedicated to migrants and refugees, let us unite in prayer for all those who have had to leave their land in search of dignified living conditions. May we journey together with them…” (CBCEW)

The Harvest, the Fruits of Human Work, and the Reverent Use of Creation The Church has long celebrated the agricultural harvest. This intention also includes all human work. In all circumstances of human life there are choices to be made regarding the environment and our reverent stewardship of the God's gift of creation. "The external deserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts have become so vast. Therefore the earth's treasures no longer serve to build God's garden for all to live in, but they have been made to serve the powers of exploitation and destruction." (Benedict XVI, homily at Inaugural Mass, 2005) O Lord, good Father, who in your providence have entrusted the earth to the human race, grant, we pray, that with the fruits harvested from it we may be able to sustain life and, with your help, always use them. (Roman Missal)  (Liturgy Office of England & Wales)

It is one of the oldest Days of Special Prayer in England and Wales, established 175 years ago in 1848. It provides an opportunity to celebrate and give thanks to all involved in making Catholic schools places of enlightenment, as well as to look forward in anticipation of the year ahead. This year's theme is drawn from its Gospel reading of Mark 7:31-37: He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak. Pope Francis said: ‘Jesus revealed to us the secret of a miracle that we too can imitate, becoming protagonists of “Ephphatha”, of that phrase “be opened” with which He gave speech and hearing back to the deaf and dumb man. ‘It means opening ourselves to the needs of our brothers and sisters who are suffering and in need of help, by shunning selfishness and hardheartedness. It is precisely the heart, that is the deep core of the person, that Jesus came to “open”, to free, in order to make us capable of fully living the relationship with God and with others. Catholic education in Church schools and universities endeavours to acknowledge Jesus’ loving presence in the lives of young people as they work, learn, pray, grow in character and virtue, and discover their vocation. Education Sunday can be the reminder to all members of the Catholic community of the importance of education to the Catholic mission. (CBCEW & Catholic Education Service)

Friday 1st November Mass in St Peter’s at 10am & 7pm All are welcome! At the Angelus in All Saints Day last year, Pope Francis said: “Saints are not unreachable or distant heroes, but people like us, our friends, whose starting point is the same gift we have received: Baptism...They are our elder brothers and sisters, on whom we can always count: the saints support us and, when we take a wrong turn along the way, with their silent presence they never fail to correct us. They are sincere friends, whom we can trust, because they desire our well-being. In their lives we find an example, in their prayers we receive help and friendship, and with them we are bound in a bond of brotherly love...May Mary, Queen of all Saints, make us feel the joy of the gift received and increase in us the desire for the eternal destination.”
