Amen The first reading is from the Acts of the Apostles In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) and said, ‘Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. He was one of our number and shared in our ministry.’ Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us.

Free us from the paralysis of selfishness and awaken in us the desire to serve, to do good. Even worse than this crisis is the tragedy of squandering it by closing in on ourselves. Come, Holy Spirit: you are harmony; make us builders of unity. You always give yourself; grant us the courage to go out of ourselves, to love and help each other, in order to become one family. Amen. The full text of the Holy Father’s homily is available to read on the Cathedral website. From Fr. Daniel … Over the last few months, a team of people have been working hard to establish a more permanent solution to the live-streaming of events at the Cathedral. Until this weekend, everything which has been broadcast from the cathedral has been done with very minimal technical skills (from me!); this includes my mobile phone data and my iPad acting as a camera . There has been an ongoing issue with the quality of the broadband in Charles Street, which affects the upload speed. Thanks be to God, we now have the ability to begin the live-streaming of Masses and Services from the Cathedral’s camera.

However, it’s also special across our diocese as it is an “Adoremus Sunday”. Taking its name from the National Eucharistic Congress in September, this is a chance to invite a friend to “come and see” the Church at its most important - the Mass. This is a simple and perhaps unthreatening way of sharing our faith - something that we are often very reticent about in Britain, for various reasons, many historical. There are two stages to this plan. 1. This Sunday you are invited to take an invitation card. Over the next few days think and pray about who you should give it to. Fill in the details about which Mass you will invite them to (the card is for them, not for you!) and make the invitation in your best friendly style… 2. Then on 1 July accompany your “guest” to Mass and help make it an inviting and inspiring experience.

He offered suggestions of how to pause , including refraining from showing off, or from an attitude which gives rise to unproductive thoughts and self-pity. These lead us to forget our call to encounter others and share in their burdens. He urged an end to the desire “to control everything, know everything, destroy everything,” which stems from a lack of gratitude for our life and what we’ve been given. Lent is a good time for the “creative power of silence” in order to “leave behind the unrest and commotion that fill the soul with bitter feelings which never get us anywhere… Pause from this compulsion to a fast-paced life that scatters, divides and ultimately destroys time with family, with friends, with children, with grandparents, and time as a gift… time with God.” Francis warned about “haughty looks” and “fleeting and pejorative comments,” words
