Jubilee
It is not you who shapes God:
It is God that shapes you.
For then you are the work of God,
Awaiting the hand of the Artist,
who does all things in due season.
Offer God your heart, soft and tractable,
And keep the form in which the Artist has shaped you.
Let the clay stay moist,
lest you grow hard
and lose the imprint of God’s fingers.
St Irenaeus
Deaths - We pray for the recently
deceased:
Fr Ragheed Ganni, Iraq; Francis Nolan, 13 Hillview Road.
May they rest in peace.
