Thought for the day: We all know from experience that happiness can be confused with all sorts of things, enjoyment, getting my own way, pleasure etc. We also all know, in our heart of hearts, that true happiness is not something that I have for myself but something that I am with others. Rather than something I possess, it is something that I am, with my values and vision. The paradox of human life is that we attain happiness not by aiming at it for ourselves but only making other people the focus of our lives and loves. In the words of St Paul: Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8) Prayer: God of our happiness, give us the wisdom that you alone can give so that we also may be wise and come to life in abundance, according to your will.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony OSA)
Pope Francis on ‘X’: In moments of illness, we feel our frailty, but we also experience the closeness and compassion of God, who has shared our sufferings in Jesus. He never abandons us.

2025, A Jubilee Year in the Church
Pope Francis has chosen the Jubilee theme “Pilgrims of Hope”. We are asked to treat the year ahead as a year-long pilgrimage to become more aware that truly Jesus Christ Our Saviour is with us each day, – as our help, strength and guide. When we speak of ‘Hope’ we mean ‘Hope in Jesus Christ’, Hope in our God, Father, Son and Spirit.

Prayer of Blessed Henry Newman
O Lord, support us all day long,
until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done. Then in your mercy,
grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest,
and peace at last. Amen.
