St Catherine of Siena
Matthew 11:25-30

Today we celebrate the feast of St Catherine of Siena. You’ll see her depicted wearing the habit of a nun, but she was in fact a Third Order Dominican. She’s of particular note for her fearless resolve and ability to speak truth to power, Image and especially to Popes. The Church has recognized her as a Doctor of the Church. She stands alongside Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen. All four women are recognized for their holiness, depth of insight and contribution to Catholic teaching and thought

FRIDAY
THIRD WEEK OF EASTER
John 6:52-59

‘He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in him.’

When we gather together to give thanks to the Father and to share bread and wine we make a statement about who we are as individuals and who we are as community. Image We receive Christ’s broken body as a pledge of love and hope of healing for the world. Christ lives in and among us. At the end of the Eucharistic celebration you may hear these words: Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.

THURSDAY
THIRD WEEK OF EASTER
John 6:44-51

‘Your fathers ate the manna in the desert and they are dead; but this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a man may eat it and not die.’ Image It’s worth reading the whole of the Bread of Life discourse (John 6:22-66) in one sitting to get a sense of the flow of the argument. The lectionary spreads it over a week, but with several feasts this week it can feel a little disjointed.

1977 saw the publication of Thesaurus: Liturgiae Horarum Monasticae. Various 'Schema' were proposed for the distribution of the Psalter in the Liturgy of the Hours.
gregorianbooks.com/gregorian/www/… Depending on which Schema you choose that will determine which Psalms are sung at Vigils (Office of Readings).
Monasteries experimented with the schema and settled on the one that was the best fit. There isn't uniformity amongst Benedictine houses.

Epiphany
Matt 2:1-12

The risk, gift and blessing of encounter.
It's love that draws us on.
It's love that invites us to gaze in wonder.
It's love that beckons us to bend low.
It's all for love that we will risk offering our gifts. Image Our sermon today ended with this poem by Sidney Royse Lysaght,

THE PENALTY OF LOVE
If love should count you worthy, and should deign
One day to seek your door and be your guest,
Pause! ere you draw the bolt and bid him rest,
If in your old content you would remain,

I've started to read the Vademecum for the Synod:
synod.va/content/dam/sy…
A sentence stood out for me. Here it is in pictures.(There were some inevitable ecclesiological challenges in trying to find pictures to fit what I think the text says/means.)
