Pope Francis published a letter earlier this year called Gaudete et Exsultate, which is the latin for Rejoice and be Glad. In this letter the Pope sets out to re-propose the call to holiness in a practical

way for our time, with all its risks, challenges and opportunities. For the Lord has chosen each one of us ‘to be holy and blameless before

him’ (Ephesians 1,4). For a number of Sundays, beginning next week, a quotation from the Pope’s letter will appear in the bulletin.
