IN OUR PRAYERS THIS WEEK: Diocesan Prayer Link - We remember the Clergy and parishioners of St.Nicholas of Tolentino, Easton, St. Joseph, Fishponds, and St. Patrick, Redfield, Bristol. May they be guided by the Holy Spirit. In our own Parish, we pray for Fr Dominic, all parishioners and visitors, and those unable to be with us today; the sick, the housebound, and those who care for them, all who have asked for our prayers, those who have died recently, especially Robert Jones, and all those whose anniversaries occur at this time. May they rest in peace. The Holy Father’s monthly Prayer intentions: March - Evangelisation: Sacrament of reconciliation. That we may experience the sacrament of reconciliation with renewed depth, to taste the infinite mercy of God. WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER ON TODAY’S GOSPEL: JOHN 2: V 1`3 – 25 Jesus wept not only for Jerusalem, but for all of us. He gives His life so that we might recognize his visitation. St. Augustine said a word, a very strong sentence: ‘I am afraid of God, of Jesus, when He passes!’ But why are you afraid? ‘I’m afraid I will not recognize Him!’ If you are not careful with your heart, you will never know if Jesus is visiting you or not. May the Lord give all of us the grace to recognize the times we have been visited, we are visited and shall be visited, so that we open the door to Jesus and thus ensure that our heart is enlarged ever more by love, and that we might serve the Lord Jesus in love.” (Homily, Santa Marta, 17 November 2016) MASS & SERVICE TIMES FOR HOLY WEEK 2021 Palm Sunday: Saturday 27th March 5.30pm - Vigil Mass Sunday 28th March 9.00am - Mass 11.00am - Mass Maundy Thursday, 1st APril: 10.00am - 12 noon - Confessions 7.00pm - Evening Mass of the Lord’s SuPPer Good Friday, 2nd APril: 10.00am - Stations of the Cross 3.00pm - The Passion of the Lord Holy Saturday, 3rd APril: 8.00pm - The Easter Vigil Mass Offerings at the Vigil and on Easter Sunday are your gift to the Parish Priest Sunday of the Resurrection (Easter Sunday), 4th APril: 7.30am - Mass 9.30am - Mass 11.30am - Mass BOOKING FOR HOLY WEEK MASSES 1.

    1 2 THE MAGAZINE OF MARLBOROUGH'S COMMUNITY AND CHURCHES NUMBER 657 MARCH 2016 Windows, War and Wishes Apologies for the fact that this month's edition is a bit more of a hotch-potch than usual, but as they say "variety is the spice of life"! We start with an article about a tragic story commemorated in stained glass in one of the windows in St Mary's church, a place I have worshipped in for the past nineteen years but have never stopped to look. I suspect that this may well be true for many of us, and I hope in future months to make similar occasional contributions about items of interest in our churches which we perhaps take for granted - and would welcome such contributions from any of our far more knowledgeable readers. Secondly, we have a fine collection of photographs from the Marlborough History Society telling something of the story of our town one hundred years ago. These photos have already been exhibited twice in the past eighteen months, but I wanted them to have as wide an exposure as possible because I think they are so interesting. And finally, a Bucket List of must-do-before-I-die things from ten different people to whom I am most grateful for being prepared to reveal in public their deepest desires. The hope is that it will not only be of interest to our readers in perhaps opening your eyes to something that you hadn't thought of for yourself, but also that it might prompt further contributions from our readership of items from your own list which you might be prepared to share with others - the more obscure the better! David Du Croz - Editor Cover picture: Memorial window, St Mary’s Church, Marlborough 1 Compiler: Peter Noble Proof readers: Mike Jackson & Julia Peel Clergy Letter from The Reverend Dr David Campbell Life in all its fullness It’s a very wonderful thing that each and every year we are fortunate enough to be alive as the natural world as we see it in our fields, gardens and parks renews itself.

From Rev. Ian Howarth Dear Friends, On 8th February Barbara and I set off to visit our friend Rev. Jeyapaul in South India for two weeks. Jeyapaul has been a regular visitor to us over the last 20 years, and it has been a joy to hear of his developing community work with disadvantaged children and older women. It is 27 years since we first met him and since we last went to India, so it will be fascinating to see how much things have changed there since 1985.
