TODAY’S SPECIAL COLLECTION.: CATEW stands for ‘Catholic Trust for England and Wales’. It exists to make sure there are funds for the national activities of the Church, such as having premises in London for Catholic offices, Press office, liaison between all the bishops, staff for handling things like national Catholic guidance on the pandemic (We’ve had reams of useful notes from them!), meeting facilities for the London gatherings of our 30+ bishops.
BOX IN PORCH LABELLED “CATHOLIC TRUST”
Some of you have already handed in envelopes for this – thank you.

CARING FOR OUR COMMON
HOME
From 1 Sept to 4 Oct we celebrate the
season of Creation. Cafod invites us to
pray particularly the novena to St.
Francis of Assisi.
https://cafod.org.uk/Pray/Prayer-
resources/Novena-to-St-Francis
It’s a song of penitence, as well as
praise, guiding us to care for the earth
and for our most vulnerable sisters and
brothers, especially just now in the
Amazon region.
“CREATION TIME” – time to make some
good resolutions about creation ?
Let us pray: For all who are
close to death, that they may be
in the grace of God. For those
who cannot even buy the food
they and their children need.
For people and races and
groups who are oppressed by
cruel rulers or people of power.
For ourselves, that we may be
made aware of our own
prejudices, even as we see what
others should do For those who
have authority, such as the
police in every country, that
they may have respect for all
the people.
“For you my soul is thirsting, O
Lord my God.” (Psalm Response)
God entices us (“seduces us”) and we
are swept off our feet, says the prophet
Jeremiah. The trouble is, following Hm
involves the Cross, so we’d often rather
escape, run away from God. But, what-
ever way we go, He is there, waiting to
lure us back. We need Him, but “love
me, love my Cross”.
“Follow Me, follow Me, leave your
fishing nets and boats upon the shore.”
“If anyone
wants to be a
follower of
mine, let
him take up
his cross and
follow me.”
Mt. 16:25
