A full prayer schedule is taking place in our parish church. It is the schedule for a typical weekday (with the exception that one morning Mass is offered during the week instead of three as on Sunday). It is a schedule, which gravitates around the majority of what is known as the Liturgy of the Hours and comprises the basic prayer schedule of a monk or an everyday priest. If we are to persevere as Catholic Christians and as a church… prayer and lots of it is more than ever necessary. Praise God that many of the universal prayer times of the universal church are being publicly observed at our parish.

The Sunday Liturgy of the Hours schedule is as follows:

  • 7:15 AM – Laudes (Morning Prayer)
  • 12:00 NOON – Sext (Midday Prayer)
  • 6:00 PM – Vespers (Evening Prayer)
  • 8:00PM – Compline (Night Prayer)

All are welcome to join in this rhythm of prayer.

A Short Reflection for the 16th Sunday on Ordinary Time

From the Pastor /

As Martha in today’s Gospel, we are often worried about the many things of daily life. Indeed these matters need attention. But let us not forget, that the “better part” of life and the most important matters of life are those of the spiritual life. We need more often and ever more attentively to sit at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, to learn from His Holy Word and to eat of His Body and Blood in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. After this, all things will find their proper proportion and purpose.

“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only ONE thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” (Luke 10:42)
