THIS WEEKS YOUTUBE VIDEO DO CATHOLICS HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS? Father Matthew O'Gorman answers the question "do Catholics have a personal relationship with Jesus"? He explains that our relationship with Jesus gives our lives meaning and purpose. We experience this relationship in prayer, in reading the scriptures and most fully when He is truly present with us in the Mass.

Real Presence, Part 1&2: Tuesday 30th June 7.30pm or Wednesday 1st July 10.30am ENCYCLICAL LETTER MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIV ON SAFEGUARDING THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Building for the common good 13. Thirdly, building a world in which everyone can flourish requires shared responsibility and courage. No one can single-handedly bear the weight of the challenges the world is facing, just as no one is so weak that they cannot play their part, for "power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor 12:9). All are given their own section of the wall: scientists and researchers, entrepreneurs and workers, educators and legislators, civil society, popular movements and faith communities. This is the logic of subsidiarity, which values the cooperation between generations, peoples, disciplines and cultures as the best way for fostering stability, prosperity and peace. We should not be intimidated by tensions or differences because they can become creative forces when guided by shared responsibility. 14. Finally, building for the common good requires an evangelical language. We must avoid humiliating or antagonistic words, opting rather for a clarity that sheds light and a frankness that unlocks new possibilities. We cannot condone naive enthusiasms, nor fuel unfounded fears. Instead, let us establish standards for discernment — the dignity of the human person, the universal destination of goods, the preferential option for the poor, care for our common home and peace — and let us translate these standards into practices such as responsible planning, the assessment of human and social impact,  the inclusion of the most vulnerable,  the promotion of digital literacy and guiding research and industry  toward justice and peace. SECOND COLLECTION: PETER'S PENCE Peter's Pence: by reason of the bond of unity and charity, the bishops  of the Church, with their people, join together to produce those means which the Holy Father and the Apostolic See need to exercise works of mercy and charity and its service of the Universal Church. The faithful's offerings to the Holy Father are destined to church needs, humanitarian initiatives and social promotion projects, as well as to the support of the Holy See. The Pope, being pastor of the whole Church, is attentive to the material needs of poor dioceses, religious institutes and faithful in grave difficulties: the poor, children, the elderly, those marginalized and the victims of war and natural disasters. Concrete aid is thus made available  to bishops or dioceses in need,  to Catholic education, assistance, to refugees, and immigrants, etc. A DAY WITH MARY A Day With Mary is hosting an International Symposium from 29th July to 31st July 2026 at St Mary's Catholic Church, West Croydon Information at www.adaywithmary.org/symposium ANNA BOROWIEC & FAMILY This family is in need of support.
