  • Reflections Volume 68
    1 Reflections Volume 68 International Catholic Family Newsletter AprilSept 2021 Are You Living‘ in the Flesh? The New Stigmata Saint of India Who Levitated The Silent Addiction to Technology The Real Easter Hallelujah Message Blessing to All: By: Richard Pickard “For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit.” (Romans 8:5) St. Paul was not talking about us acting as people created by God, but to those who have closed themselves to only matters of the flesh. He is talking about people who live only to satisfy their own desires. They care not for others, except for what others can do for them to satisfy their desires. In Philippians 1:21–24 we see a better example from St. Paul on the true meaning of Romans 8:5. “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart [that is, to die and leave behind the body] and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.” Paul wants to help others understand the eternal and joyful salvation that Christ has to offer. Our life on earth is a series of frustrations, pains, sicknesses, hardships, and mental anguish when we live without the Spirit of Christ within us.

(CCC, 966) • The Church honors Mary as the preeminent member of the Communion of Saints and honors her with many feast days and devotions. (CCC, 1195) • Saints are role models for us. We are all called to be Saints and to accept God’s friendship, which leads us to a life of service.

Fabiano’s village in rural Uganda has been devastated by drought. Every day, children would trek miles for water, risking their education – and safety. Donations from parishioners across England and Wales helped install a solar powered water pump in the village. Now Fabiano and his friends can collect water quickly and safely. On Family Fast Day, CAFOD invites us to eat a simple meal for lunch or dinner and give the money we save to help children like Fabiano. Please collect a Fast Day envelope from the back of the church. Canonisations On Sunday 13th October, Pope Francis will canonise 5 new saints in Rome, including Blessed John Henry Newman and Sr Mariam Thresia Chiramel of Kerala, India.
