St James The Great

"May the light of your peace illuminate our world so full of conflict." ⭐ As we celebrate the Epiphany, let us pray and work to carry the spirit of hope cultivated during the Jubilee into this new year.

A blessed Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord! Prayer for the Solemnity: O God, who on this day revealed your Only Begotten Son to the nations by the guidance of a star, grant in your mercy that we, who know you already by faith, may be brought to behold the beauty of your sublime glory. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. vaticannews.va/en/liturgical-…

Thank you to Fr Deo amd Deacon Ged for celebrating the solemnity of the Epiphany with us.

Gospel of the Day (St John 2:13-22) Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves He said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." His disciples recalled the words of Scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me." At this the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But He was speaking about the temple of His Body. Therefore, when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken. loom.ly/asB3z0w

A wonderful prayer service where we were reminded of the beauty of God's love for us and the centrality of faith in our lives. @rcaoseducation

Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III met earlier and prayed together. This moment of unity comes during a Catholic Jubilee year, a time where the Church invites everyone to reflect on their faith and strengthen their commitment to others.

Well done to our weekly certificate winners.
