NINETEENTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR (YEAR B) 9th AUGUST 2009
Dear Parishioners,
In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to enter into eternal life He wants us to share His
very own life abundantly. He promises us that ‘everybody who believes has eternal
life’, and then He goes even further by stating: ‘I am the living bread which has come
down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I
shall give is my flesh for the life of the world.’ Let our hearts be filled with praise and
gratitude to God for each time we gather to celebrate the Eucharist we receive a
pledge of our future glory.
We offer our prayerful congratulations to those who will have been married this
weekend: Paul Spencer and Orla Murphy; and James McAloon and Mary Partin.
Next weekend we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady at all of
the weekend Masses.
The next two baptismal preparation evenings will take place on Wednesday 19th and
Wednesday 26th August at 8.00pm in the Presbytery. All are welcome.
We are hoping to arrange a coach for Harvington Hall (6th September) after the
Rosary Rally has taken place. We will keep you informed as to the details.
The relics of St Therese of Lisieux will visit St Chad’s Cathedral on Saturday 19thand
will leave with a Mass and Farewell Ceremony on Monday 21st September at 6.30am.
A full programme of events at Chad’s Cathedral for this visit is available on the notice
board in both porches.
After leaving St Chad’s Cathedral, the Relics will visit the Church of Sacred Heart &
St Teresa at Coleshill. The Relics will arrive at Coleshill on Monday 21 st September
between 8.30-9.30am. Again, a full programme of events at Coleshill is available in
both porches. We will organise a coach to visit Coleshill and give details later.
A reminder that our Parish Retreat will take place in October (17th-23rd) with Frances
Hogan. Please try to keep some time free to attend the talks.

Prayer to Saint Clare Feast Day 11th August
Patroness of Television Workers
Patroness of Sore Eyes
Dear St. Clare, as a young girl you imitated your mother's love for
the poor of your native Assisi. Inspired by the preaching of St. Francis, who sang enthusiastically
of His Lord Jesus and Lady Poverty, you gave your life to Jesus at nineteen years of age, allowing
St. Francis to cut off your beautiful hair and invest you with the Franciscan habit. All through
your life you offered your great suffering for your Sisters, the Poor Clares, and the conversion of
souls. You greatly aided St. Francis with his new order, carrying on his spirit in the Franciscans
after his death. Most of all you had a deep love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, which
fuelled your vocation to love and care for the poor. Please pray for me (mention your request)
that I will seek to keep Jesus as my first love, as you did. Help me to grow in love of the Blessed
Sacrament, to care for the poor, and to offer my whole life to God. Heavenly Father, thank You
for the gift of St. Clare. Through her intercession, please hear and answer my prayer, in the
name of Jesus Your Son. Amen.
Dear St. Clare, inspired by St. Francis, you became a poor nun for the sake of Jesus, and
established the "Poor Clares." We are told how greatly you cherished Christ present in the
Sacrament of the Altar. Help all television workers to broadcast the truth and draw away from
falsehood and evil. Amen.
Please pray for: Maria Powditch who died recently.( Requiem Mass Wednesday 12th August
9.30am at Blessed Robert Grissold,Meeting House Lane,Balsall Common; followed by Burial at
Canley Cemetery, Coventry.) Also Hughie Cooney, Bernard Ereaut, Victor Ruffieux and Francis
Rooney whose anniversaries are at this time
