NEWSLETTER 16.02.25

14/02/2025 by John

“When one lives attached to money, pride or power, it is impossible to be truly happy.”

Today’s readings teach us that true happiness, or beatitude, lies in the awareness that we are all children of a loving Heavenly Father and that we will be happy only when we share our blessings with our brothers and sisters in need, and work to uplift them, thus declaring our “option for the poor,” as Jesus did. Contrary to popular belief, wealth, health, power, and influence are not the sources of true happiness. The word “beatitude” means “blessedness” in a double sense: both enjoying God’s favour and enjoying true or supreme happiness.

Fr. Peter.

This Sunday is Racial Justice Day and there will be a second collection for the Catholic Association for Racial Justice.

Assisted suicide committee bias.
Committee stage of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill has begun, raising serious concerns about its conduct.
The Committee has been ‘stacked’ with a higher number of MPs who support the Bill
Nearly twice as many witnesses supported assisted suicide than the number who opposed it
Important voices have been excluded, including the Government’s chief Suicide Prevention Strategy Advisor, the British Geriatrics Society and a number of disability rights groups, senior palliative care doctors and legal experts with relevant expertise.
MPs must be aware of the serious issues in the scrutiny of Kim Leadbeater’s Bill. It’s vital they know your concerns and vote against it at Third Reading. 
Please take action now and visit www.righttolife.org.uk/ASBillAction to write to your MP – it takes just 30 seconds!

The funeral of Angela Sandell will be held on Friday 7 March, at 12 noon, at St Joseph’s Church, Sheringham.
