The Blessed Sacrament and me

-
On a recent trip to see a friend of mine I visited Crawley where he lives.  I will not bore you with the details of the trip although just to say that it was really good to see my friend. As it is with me I had a bit of time to spare and so I decided to look around the town centre. Maybe it was the time of day or the weather but as I walked around the shops I got more and more depressed. The place seemed soulless. The people had sullen faces and there seemed to in lots of peoples faces little hope. I felt there must be more to this place. I decided to go to the Catholic Church and was pleased to discover that the Church was open and that there was people in prayer. There was also a great joy to behold and that my dear Lord in the Blessed sacrament not just in the tabernacle but they were engaged in exposition. 

 I was firstly very happy to see the Church open and then thanked God for the gift of himself in the Blessed Sacrament and that he was on the Altar. I sat and knelt to pray realising that the soulless modern culture that  swept around the Church in the midst of this mess and noise was Christ waiting patiently for people to discover him. Gently calling our names Jesus calls us back to him and wants us to spend time with him in adoration

A Year of Service

  This last weekend I was able to look back with friends at the wonderful year I had with the Vincentian Volunteers. Looking back I can see that there are many elements to this year that have remained always with me. These I can now see and after reflection have shaped my life since this most formative year. From this year I went on to train for the priesthood and became a priest. After 16 years I left ministry and now try my best to live my Christian values and life in the world. In a recent upgrade to my CV I realised that my whole adult life has been in some sort of service to others and usually to the most vulnerable and those on the fringes of society. From working in Top Shop to ministry to the Hospital to the work I now do in education. This all stems from this year I had with the community and putting Love in action. Yes I have made mistakes on the way and my human frailty has been evident but this life was never going to easy and straight forward.  When I look back on that yea

  Over the last few years I have had major issues with the Catholic Church. I think that my issue is the authority of the Church and how many clergy, not all, use and abuse their power and class the laity as stupid idiots. I can say this as for 16 years I was a priest and caught up in the system. When you're in the middle of it you can't aways see what is going on around you. I could not see what the Church as a structure was doing to peoples lives. Until I was out I realised that the Church and Im talking about the Catholic Church here is full up of repressed men who are scared of change scared of themselves and scared of the laity. Those who speak out especially clergy who want significant change are laughed at by others and classed as trouble makers. This includes Pope Francis himself who wants change but sometimes can't get it because of what he has inherited. It is an issue that has gone on your centuries.  This does not allow for a healthy functioning Church. There ne

What have we learnt? Covid and the last year.

Over the last year since the start of the Covid pandemic there has been much in the press about the affects on society. We have seen that there are many people who are anxious, feel alone and worried about the future. So I looked on the Internet for the Christian response to the Pandemic. I was not surprised to see that there were many articles to suggest that the Christian Church as a whole has failed in this time.  In the first Lockdown the Churches were asked to close and there was no public worship. As the infection rate went down the Churches could open for private prayer. In the recent lockdown many places of worship have remained open although the infection rate being a lot higher. I have maybe been a thorn in peoples sides by asking why. I even wrote to the Cardinal  to ask him why. I argued that they should be left shut because of the demographic that tend to go. I got a standard reply back. When I looked in newsletters I read many times about how to give your collection and t
