    Week Commencing Sunday 10th May 2020 (Year A) Fifth Sunday of Easter (Readings: Ac 6:1-7 Ps 32 1P 2:4-9 Jn 14:1-12) There will be no Public acts of worship until further notice in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, Mass will be celebrated but without a congregation. Sadly the new government measures mean our churches have to be closed. The reason is that the virus could be spread via surfaces in the church into which consecutive people come into contact even if they are not there at the same time, and also there is the possibility of people gathering informally for prayer together which seems a good idea at first sight but would actually be an opportunity to spread the virus.

Like so much, this time (i.e. Easter, Pentecost) has been snatched from us, with the whole of life seemingly concentrating on the Coronavirus and its influence on us, even to the point of death itself. What is asked of us and the Christian is summarised by the expression “to live in the Spirit”. What the Spirit brings is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. That can seem little more than a vague platitude but St Paul in attempting to specify this living in the Spirit gave us in his letter to the Galatians Chap 5 v22, a list of how we live and act in the Spirit. At the time when we were preparing for a new millennium Pope John XXIII dedicated each year to a person of the Trinity with the year of the Holy Spirit prayer to accompany it. It is still very suitable for us at this time “Father pour out your Spirit upon your people and grant us a new vision of your glory, a new experience of your power, a new faithfulness to your Word, a new consecration to your service and grant that your love may grow among us and your Kingdom come!”.

  • Parishnews Blessed Sacrament Parish Heavitree Exeter 11 June the Most Holy Trinity
    ParishNews Blessed Sacrament Parish Heavitree Exeter 11 June The Most Holy Trinity. 10th week in Ordinary Time Psalter 2 Why white? White is the colour of heaven. Liturgically, it is used to celebrate feasts of the Lord as well as today, the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. In the earliest centuries all vestments were white – the white of baptismal purity and of the robes worn by the armies of the redeemed in the Apocalypse, washed white in the blood of the Lamb. As the Church grew secure enough to be able to plan her liturgy, she began to use colour so that our sense of sight could deepen our experience of the mysteries of salvation, just as incense recruits our sense of smell and music that of hearing. Over the centuries various schemes of colour for feasts and seasons were worked out, and it is only as late as the 19th century that they were harmonised into their present form. The Most Holy Trinity We begin our Summer 'Ordinary Time' by celebrating a strange feast - not of a particular saint or event, but of the awesome paradoxes of our God, the Three-in-One, Father, Son and Spirit: so immeasurably distant, yet so amazingly close, so full of power and so full of love. It is love that is the key to the mystery: the revelation of God, to Moses and in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, shows a perfect love - a perfect unity. In the beginning, in the story of Creation in Genesis, God made man and woman 'in the image and likeness of God', to live together as a community of love.

  • Do Not Be Afraid of Those Who Kill the Body
    ParishNews Blessed Sacrament Parish Heavitree Exeter 21 June 2020 Twelfth Sunday on Ordinary time. Year A My blood is real drink Do not be afraid of those who kill the body Today’s Gospel turns our thoughts to the strange phenomenon of persecution: throughout the history of mankind, the truth has been a commodity that often leads to persecution: the prophets of the Old Testament were attacked because of their message, as was the Lord Jesus himself. For his followers, the same may be true. The point of the readings is not simply to face up to the reality of the opposition the Gospel may meet, but to remember where the truth of the Gospel comes from: the Father in heaven, who knows us and values us. So we can be confirmed in our mission to witness to the truth, not fearing those who merely kill the body. Facebook BLESSED SACRAMENT EXETER Website WWW.BLESSEDSACRAMENT.ORG.UK I rejoiced when I heard them say, “Let us go to God’s house. Great News: we are opening! Blessed Sacrament Church has received a Decree of Reopening from the Bishop and will, be opening this Tuesday 23 June. We will open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5.00 till 7.00pm and on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 9.00 till 11.00am. Please only enter the church through the porch door. There will be stewards present on each occasion to greet and assist you and to help clean and sanitise the pews, door handles etc. after each visitor.

  • Plymouth Catholic Cathedral: External Repairs (1 of 3 Projects Funded) Awarded £398,496 in March 2015
    Plymouth Catholic Cathedral: External Repairs (1 of 3 projects funded) Awarded £398,496 in March 2015 The need The cathedral is situated on high ground and exposed to severe coastal storms. It had been experiencing serious problems of water penetration through the walls and windows caused by poor weathering details and inadequately sized gutters which could not cope with heavy rainfall; in extreme weather rain overflowed the gutters and cascaded down the walls, interrupting services and events. Outcomes Repairs to the stonework surrounding the windows has ensured that the cathedral is now wind and Plymouth Cathedral following the repairs. Photo credit: Purcell water proof. Upgrading of the cathedral’s rainwater UK Architects. system and guttering has prevented further water damage and means that leaking will no longer interrupt worship. Repairs to the cathedral’s failing masonry and timber has also improved the appearance of the cathedral. Economic and social impact The three funded projects at the cathedral supported a total of 13 full-time equivalent jobs, covering traditional building methods including stonemasonry and window repairs, as well as architecture, engineering, building surveying and design. Confidence in the cathedral is at an all-time high after the repairs, and visitor numbers have increased. Without the repairs the cathedral would probably have had to close because of the health and safety risks. The cathedral was able to provide more First World War commemorations and held a rededication mass once all the works were complete. It has installed a permanent display of World War One memorabilia and opened a Book of Remembrance, allowing families to commemorate the lives of loved ones lost in conflict.

    ParishNews Blessed Sacrament Parish Heavitree Exeter 9 April 2017 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Ps week 2 THE PASCHAL TRIDUUM The three great days of the Paschal Triduum, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are the most significant and the most solemn in the Church’s year. Celebrated as one great liturgy, each leads into the next as we follow the incredible events of the last hours of the life of Jesus. Celebrating on all three days rather than just at one or two, assures us of a greater understanding of the depth and wonder of the central mystery of our faith. The Washing of Feet On Thursday evening at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper we commemorate the moment when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Fr John and Fr Jonathan will come amongst the congregation to wash feet. If you would like to take part please sit at the end of the pew and take of your shoes (and socks!) in readiness. Thank you. On Palm Sunday the long reading of the Passion dominates the celebration, and in a The Refugee Journey sense its meaning is obvious.
