Christmas

Sometimes we over complicate things.  In this Christmas message Bishop Seamus simplifies and clarifies the Christian message.

I hope God blesses you this Christmas and everyday

Disgusted of football

Deeply saddened is doesn’t express my feelings of the last week.

When the England Soccer Team lost to Croatia in the World Cup football league the domestic violence figures against women rose by 40% in the next 48 hours!

The Simon Community, who feed people who live on the streets of London found that on the night of the match they could not find the homeless in many of there usual haunts.  Why?  Because they were in hiding.  They would rather miss a meal than risk the violence that would be meated out on them as a result of the “Beautiful Game” when drunk football supporters vacated the pubs.

Further, I was horrified that clergy on retreat were more interested in their plans for the footie than preparation to meet their Lord in  celebration of the mass.

What has become of our society?  Where is the love?

Lord give us the grace to focus on you, serve  you and care for our brothers and sisters.
