Dear Friends in Christ, Fourteenth Sunday of the Year 2018

It isn’t really possible to be a believer of Jesus and not believe inmiracles – the Gospels are full of them. The four Evangelists wereauthentic witnesses: they didn’t make things up; they testified to what theysaw and heard with their own eyes.

In any event, we struggle with miracles– and many people do – we should know thatthe Church doesn’t: it believes in miracles. Weknow, of course, that in order for someone tobe declared Blessed (Beatus) a miracle needs tooccur as a result of their intercession and forsomeone to be canonised, made a saint, twomiraculous interventions need to occur as aresult of their intercession. Mother Teresa and Pope John XXIII weredeclared saints and John Henry Newman was declared Blessed becausethe Church was able to verify miracles had occurred through theirintercession. Lourdes especially is a place or miracles, and these wonderfulmiracles have occurred through the intercession of Our Blessed Lady.And, to top them all, every time we celebrate the Eucharist, through themiracle of grace, the priest is able (by a miracle of grace) to change thebread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Not only do we believe in miracles but we are People of Miracles.True, we don’t hear reports of signs, wonders and miracles emerging fromour parishes after Sunday Mass, but maybe that’s because we aren’texpectant of them. Maybe when a loved one is seriously sick or ill, our firstthought isn’t to make available to them the anointing of the sick, thehealing and therefore the miraculous sacrament of the Church

If you don’t believe in miracles, change the way youthink. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you thatmiracles are the way of the Church. Blessed JohnHenry Newman said: ‘The incarnation is the most

stupendous event which ever can take place on earth; and after it andhenceforth, I do not see how we can scruple at any miracle on the meregrounds that it is unlikely to happen.’ Perhaps today we might make asimple proclamation for faith by saying, ‘I believe in miracles.’

Dear Friends in Christ, 14th Sunday of the Year

My sincere and grateful thanks to all those parishionerswho participated in our annual ‘Forty Hours’ of EucharisticAdoration! This is a real moment of grace for any parish, andour worship of Jesus Christ is fundamental to our RomanCatholic faith. It is a known fact that parishes that have regularExposition of the Blessed Sacrament continue to grow in theknowledge and love of Jesus and the Catholic Faith. There wasan article in one of the Catholic Newspapers last weekend thatstated that Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament can rescue the Church. “Thecall to adore the Lord is the antidote to the noise of the world and theChurch’s most powerful weapon.” We live in an ever changing world where,secularism, materialism, indifference and apathy appear to be the order ofthe day. But Jesus Christ is still at the heart of our Roman Catholic Faith,and every effort to promote the adoration of Christ will be a moment of gracefor every person, and every parish community. Please make an extra specialeffort to make a visit to the Church on a regular basis, to pray before theBlessed Sacrament, to invoke the Holy name of Jesus often throughout theday, to receive Holy Communion each week, or even every day. Closeness toJesus is closeness to His Church!

THANK YOU: To those parishioners who attended thevery important meeting last Monday concerning thefuture of our parish and the diocese. I’m truly gratefulto Mark Lambert for coming to share with us the workthat has been taking place in his own parish in Leigh-on-Sea with regardsEvangelisation. For the past two and half years the diocese has beenexploring the Stewards of the Gospel initiative. As a parish we now want totake that one step further to engage in the Forming Intentional DisciplesProgramme. This very successful programme is bearing great fruit in theDiocese of Plymouth, and many other parishes up and down the country. Itis rooted in the desire and knowledge for Jesus Christ, and the sharing of theGospel of Jesus. Having a firm intent and total commitment to see thisprogramme develop and grow in our community is fundamental for theprocess to be successful. We will now have a follow up meeting on Monday16th July at 8.00pm in the Parish Hall. This is open to all parishioners toattend. Please come and join us!

CHILDREN’S SUNDAY LITURGY: AS some of ourCatechists have stepped down from the Rota, I have been askedto make a request for some new Children’s Sunday LiturgyCatechists. There are many parents whose children regularlyattend the Sunday Liturgy at the 11.00am mass. You will betaught how to conduct the session by those who’ve beenCatechists for a long time. You will only be asked to lead the sessionapproximately once every six months. This is truly a wonderful way to serveGod and the whole community of faith. If you’re interested please contactClaire on 07876710251.

ST. EDMUND’S PARISH FINANCESThe reality of late is that our monthly income is not meeting our

monthly outgoing. There has been a considerable drop in the weeklyoffertory! I have been consciously aware of this for a long time now, and I trynot to burden you with this.

When the St. Thomas More Church was still open we had anadditional income from the Presbytery, and also a Playgroup that was quitesuccessful for a number of years. Manifestly, with the closing of the St.Thomas More site and everything moving to St. Edmund’s, there has been aloss of revenue, somewhere in the region of £25,000 per year. Coupled withdiminishing offertories, this is most certainly taking its toll on our parishFinances. I am very consciously aware of every parishioner’s financialsituation; there are so many demands on all of us today, mortgage, homemaintenance, cars, family expenses, and the list can go on and on!

The survival of any parish is holily dependent on the generosity of thefaithful People of God. You are those people! Your weekly contributionsustains the life of the parish. Your offering reflects your thanksgiving to theLord no matter how great or small it may be. There are always some whomay be in the position of giving more. As Cardinal Hume used to say, anhour’s salary was not an unreasonable offering. If we think of some of theluxuries we purchase, a bottle of wine, a packet of cigarettes, a meal out,Weekly Gym membership, and season tickets to sports venues. Perhaps agood benchmark would be that suggested by our Parish Accountant, that ifeveryone gave the price of a cup of coffee that you would purchase on theHigh Street, this would certainly enhance the Weekly Offering. Of course the‘widow’s mite’ is always welcomed.

You are all aware of the ongoing costs of maintaining your ownhomes; and the bills keep coming in! This year we had a severe winter. As youknow I’ve always tried to keep all our buildings warm, for example, somemonths the Gas Bill was between eight and nine hundred pounds a month.Utilities are extremely expensive. Capitation to the Diocese of Brentwood is£2,200 per month. Monthly salaries are approximately £1,300. Fr. John’sSalary is £675.00 per quarter. These are just some of the regular bills.

I appeal to your incredible generosity, and your sense of belonging tothis parish. Your Gift Aiding is so important, and the use of weekly GAenvelopes really does assist and help with the annual claim that we make tothe Inland Revenue. PLEASE USE YOUR ENVELOPES!

COLLECTION OF SPONSORSHIP MONIES FOR NEWSTAIR-LIFT: On behalf of the Parish I would like to sincerelythank our Music Director Sue Farrow, for her twelve hourmarathon LAST week at St. Edmund’s; it was no mean task toplay during the hot weather; and thankfully many of the choirmembers kept her supplied with good strong coffee and cold drinks. Sue wasplaying the Organ as part of the sponsorship campaign and fund-raising for anew ‘Stair-lift’ to the Organ Loft. There are some parishioners who findclimbing the stairs quite difficult, and this is not only a wonderful initiativefor the present, but will be very beneficial for the future also. The Cost of theStair-lift is approximately £5,500.00On behalf of Sue and the parish I would like to thank all those parishionerswho have so generously donated ‘One-Off’ gifts towards the project, and alsoto all those who sponsored Sue during her twelve hours of playing. Thisweekend we will be collecting in your Sponsorship monies. Members of thechoir will be available at the end of all the masses to assist in this. It’s still nottoo late to make a donation towards the Stair-lift, if you so wish! If youbelong to the Parish Gift Aid Scheme, you can also use your ‘SpareEnvelopes’ in your boxes.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION PROGRAMME 2018/2019:The programme will commence on Wednesday 12th

September at 8.00pm in the Parish Hall with the Parents’Meeting. The children’s first session will take place onSunday 16th September at 10.00am in the Parish hall; this willbe followed by the children being presented formally by theirparents as candidates for the sacraments of Reconciliation and the HolyEucharist at the 11.00am Mass. Please keep all the children and the familiesin your prayers as they prepare for the Sacramental Programme.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS: EverySeptember we begin a new RCIA (Journey of Faith)Programme, for those who may be interested in learningmore about the Roman Catholic Faith, possibly with the

view of receiving the Easter Sacraments. This is a systematic Programme ofInstruction in the Roman Catholic Faith, covering aspects of Catholicism:Scripture, Theology, Liturgy, Mary, Catholic practices & Tradition, ChurchHistory, Prayer & Devotions. If there is anyone interested, or you know ofanyone who might be interested, could you ask them to get in touch with Fr.John, Tel No: 0208 508 3492. Thank you!

BOOKING MASSES: Has been a custom in the CatholicChurch for many centuries. Parishioners can book masses inadvance for any occasion. Most commonly we remember ourdeceased loved ones on anniversaries etc. But masses can beenbooked for Special Intentions, those who have recently died,Birthdays, Anniversaries, when someone is sick, weddinganniversaries, and many other occasions. If you wish to book a mass thereare plenty of openings available in the Mass Book Calendar. Just completethe Mass Intention envelope in the porch of the church and enclose you massoffering. For anniversary masses, could I recommend that you put yourIntention in several months in advance to avoid any disappointment with adate already taken.

ATTENDING AN ADDITIONAL WEEKDAY MASS: Could I encourage allof our parishioners to seriously think about attending an additional weekdaymass. There are many retirees in our parish, and to attend an additional massMonday through Friday would certainly enhance our spiritual lives. TheMass is the great ‘Thanksgiving’ that we make to God in Christ Jesus. It givesus the opportunity to receive Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist other than juston a Sunday. It’s a wonderful habit to get into!

NEW ALTAR SERVERS: I would like to extend an invitationto any of the boys and girls who recently made their First HolyCommunion, to consider becoming an Altar Server at St.Edmund’s. This is a truly wonderful opportunity for ouryoung ones to get involved with the life of faith and give greatservice to God and the Church. I was an Altar Server right upuntil I was Ordained to the Priesthood. As you can see we havea number of Senior Servers who have served for ten years and over who havereceived their Silver St. Stephen’s Medal. Parents, can I alert your children tothis invitation. We will train the children at the altar. Our Parish MC’s DavidKnott and Robert Hatt give instruction to the children. If you are an AltarServer, you are expected to be present at weekly mass!

ADOREMUS The Latin word for ‘Let us adore’, is the theme of the NationalEucharistic Pilgrimage in Liverpool this September (7th – 9th). There is abeautifully produced Book on the Eucharist at £5.00 available in the PorchRepository. This is a wonderful publication exploring all aspects of the HolyEucharist. Please think of investing in one of them. Thank you!

CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OUTREACH: As partof the Evangelisation Programme we are adopting,outreach to those who no longer attend the Church isfundamental to the whole concept of Proclaiming theGospel message to everyone. People leave the practiceof the faith for all sorts of different reasons, but Iwould like to think that people are still members ofthe Christian family, unless they have made a formal rejection of theChristian faith. The sixty-four thousand dollar question is how do we reachthese people again, and encourage them to return to the practice of the faith.To help them see that the life of faith is truly enriching and really worthwhileis the greatest challenge of all. It would have to be said that there are manycontributing factors as to why people leave the practice of faith: - Secularismin this present age; pier group pressure; materialism; apathy & indifference.We live in an age and society that often finds it hard to commit to anything,and religion and the practice of faith is no exception! But to explore theRoman Catholic faith, and to learn and know more and more about itsfoundations in the person of Jesus Christ, will give the individual a trulydeeper foundation to build upon. The Basis of Catholicism is to know JesusChrist, and this is also at the heart of all Evangelisation.

I would like to encourage every single member of ourParish Community to truly embrace the work ofEvangelisation. We are all heralds of the Gospel ofJesus Christ, and when we share our faith, even in asmall way, we bear witness to Christ. We can be like St.John the Baptist pointing the way to Jesus. Be strongand courageous in faith; have the courage of conviction

that you have something worthwhile to offer others through your own lives offaith. We all have members of our own families, and people that we know whono longer practice their faith on a regular basis; please have the courage toinvite them to return to the faith. Take an extra Newsletter on a weekly basis;pop it through their letterboxes, at least through this there is some contactbeing made. Try to make personal invitation to lapsed family members andfriends to accompany you to mass one Sunday. Please pray for all of ourlapsed and estranged parishioners, ask the Lord to touch their hearts andbring them home.

CONFIRMANDI: I would like to encourage our recent Confirmandi tobecome more involved in the life of the Church. You may feel you havesomething to offer to God and the Church; please don’t be shy to comeforward. I hope you have had an opportunity to read the little book be gaveyou of your questions, answered by Mark Anthony. It really is a powerfulresource in understanding your Roman Catholic Faith

LOUGHTON PARISH GIFT AID SCHEME: Many thanks to all theparishioners who have collected their new Gift Aid Envelopes. The NewFinancial Year commences this weekend.

PREPARING FOR THE REDEDICATION OF ENGLAND AS THEDOWRY OF MARY: The Bishops of England & Wales have agreed torededicate England as the Dowry of Mary. This will take place on the 25th

March 2020. In preparation for this great event there will be a two-yearspiritual preparation during which the statue of Our Lady of Walsinghamwill be taken to every cathedral in England for a three-day triduum of prayer.This is being done under the banner of the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom, inpartnership with the Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham,and with the support of Youth 2000. It is hoped that local evangelisationteams will also help with other catholic organisations.

Each triduum will begin on a Thursday evening, all day Friday,Friday evening with a possible 'night fever' style adoration event, andconclude on Saturday with mass around midday.

Resources will be made available by the National Shrine for allcathedrals and it is hoped these will filter to the catholic parishes throughoutthe country. This will help bring to fulfilment the prophecy spoken by PopeLeo XIII in 1887, "When England returns to Walsingham, Our Lady willreturn to England".We pray for a rapid return of Our Lady to her Dowry.

The Slipper Chapel Statue of Our Lady of Walsingham will visit everyEnglish Catholic Cathedral between 2018 – 2020. Brentwood Cathedral of St.Mary & St. Helen, Ingrave Road, Brentwood, Essex. CM15 8AT. 19 th – 21st

July 2018. www.dowrytour.org.uk

PARISH COUNCIL MEETING: Monday 2nd July2018. 8:00pm in the Parish Retreat. This is anextremely important meeting. I would ask that allmembers of the Parish Pastoral Council please be

present. But I would also like to extend the invitation to anyone in the parishwho is interested in learning more about Evangelisation. Realistically, thesurvival of the Roman Catholic Church in this country is rooted very muchin the various methods of Evangelisation that we employ in our parishes.This is a really serious time in the Church, and I would encourage as manyparishioners as possible to attend. I have managed to get Mr Mark Lambertto come and speak about the Evangelisation Initiative of ‘FormingIntentional Disciples’. Hopefully this will dove-tail into our Stewards of theGospel Initiative. Reaching out to our lapsed Catholics and also to bewelcoming to new members in the Church. At present we’re running a FaithSharing Programme; and in September we will begin our Rite of ChristianInitiation for Adults once again. Evangelisation is at the heart of all parishlife, preaching the Gospel message of Jesus Christ is fundamental to ourcommitment in faith. In truth, many people are leaving the practice of theirfaith; the reasons are many and varied, but anything that can help usunderstand why we are at Mass each Sunday and why we’re RomanCatholics, can only be a good thing! Hopefully these two new initiatives willhelp us!

RETURNING TO THE PRACTICE OF THE FAITH: From the firstmoment Jesus gave his command to the Apostles to, ‘Go out to the whole worldand proclaim the Good News’, the faithful people of God have responded! It isan invitation freely given by Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church, on her parthas tried to the best of her ability to encourage and support all the faithful intheir Journey of Faith. Sometimes along that journey people can lose theirway, often taking other paths. But, they are still part of the family, and wereally do miss them when they’re not with us. We pray for them, and I trulybelieve that Jesus is constantly searching out our brothers and sisters. We canalso help in this mission; if you know of anyone, it may be a family member,or a neighbour or friend, who no longer actively participates with theworshipping community, have the courage to invite them to accompany you toone of our weekend masses. Obviously, there are so many other distractionsout in the world today that it’s so easy to be distracted with regardscommitment in faith; but the fact is that Jesus Christ came into our world toshow us the way to God, and he doesn’t want to lose anyone along the waythat leads to him. Sometimes, when people have been away from the practiceof the faith, they often feel nervous and embarrassed about coming home.There will always be a Big Welcome! This is real Evangelisation, because itreally can enable and help all of us recognise the importance of what it meansto be a member of God’s Family of Faith. Have Courage!

“You probably don't see that much of me but I'm the one who makes a loudnoise from above and behind you! My part in the liturgy requires me to be upin the organ loft; along with 21 dedicated choir members who rehearse twicea week to be the best they can possibly be to enhance our Sunday liturgy.Their generosity of spirit in allowing me to nag and cajole them into achievingnew things stuns me every single week. But something's not right. We are actually a choir of 22, but one of ourmembers cannot access the organ loft. That member attends a rehearsal inour hall every week but when it comes to doing our job in the loft, they areeffectively excluded. With others also who find the stairs quite difficult thesedays. This feels wrong to all of us and, with Fr John's support, we've decidedto do something about it. We're going to buy a Stairlift! We've already raised a small proportion of the funds we need but we have along way to go. So, on 28th & 30th June I will be doing a 12-hour sponsoredmusical marathon to raise the rest. (Commencing at 10.30am on both days). Ifyou’d like to come along and listen during the marathon, you’d be mostwelcome!) The choir has promised faithfully to prop me up with flasks of(very!) strong coffee but we need your help too. SPONSORSHIP IS STILLAVAILABLE. Are you willing to take one and ask your family, friends,colleagues (and anyone else you can think of!) to help us achieve our goal? Itwould mean so much to us to have ALL our members together in the loft, andwe'd be sincerely grateful for your help. Special Donations will always bevery welcome. Please support us! Please use Gift Aid envelopes also!”Thank you. Sue
