Parish News: Seventeenth Sunday and Week of the Year

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray; in response he speaks the words we know as the Lord’s Prayer. He then goes on to try to help them understand what prayer is really about: our relationship with God. 

You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here.

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.

The cover art is the page from the Sherborne Missal (British Library Add MS 74236) showing the Pater Noster (Our Father) at the conclusion of the Canon of the Mass, circa 1399- 1407.

Looking ahead: On Sunday 23rd of October, Jonathan our Bishop will be coming to St Benet’s to offer the sacrament of Confirmation (and, if required, Baptism).
In this sacrament, the baptised receive a special and fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to help them live the Christian faith to which they commit themselves. They are also admitted to Holy Communion.
There is a course of preparation required, which will begin in September. To find out more, speak to Father Guy.
