Clergy Thoughts The 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds us that God brings hope even in difficult times. Many people feel like they are in darkness at times. Life can be full of struggles, disappointments, and uncertainties. However, the message of this Sunday draws our attention to the fact that God’s light is still shining, in the Church and in our world today. Jesus is present, bringing hope and calling people to trust in Him. For He teaches, heals, and calls us to follow Him. May we be true followers of the Lord, amidst the challenges and struggles of this life. Amen! Fr Alex 

ANIMA CHRISTI – Please check the first page of the Hymn Book for the prayer.

Pray with the Pope Each month throughout 2026, Pope Leo XIV will invite the Church to pray for a specific intention, touching on both global challenges—such as peace and disarmament—and issues within the life of the Church, including evangelisation. The initiative continues the legacy of The Pope’s Video, launched ten years ago by Pope Francis and viewed over 260 million times worldwide.
