NEW TITLES
THE FOUR GOSPELS: FOLLOWING IN THE
FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS DIALOGUE OF THE
HEART

This book is for people who wish to
read the Gospels in turn and reflect
and meditate on them. The book
comes from an enthusiastic
response after the publication of
The Joy of the Gospel
CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM STORIES OF
ENCOUNTER
The monks’ story – familiar to
many thanks to the awardwinning 2010 film Of Gods and
Men – forms the backbone of
this deeply affecting and
thoughtful celebration of
interreligious friendship.
By drawing on the inspiring
witness of the Catholic Church
in Algeria and Morocco, Fr
Martin sensitively illuminates
the way in which Christians can
connect sincerely in everyday
life with their Muslim
neighbours.

WALKING ON THE PASTURES OF WONDER
CREDO
When I go out on these frosty nights and see the pattern
of the stars across the sky I ask myself how did all that
happen.

recipients.

NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
SEEK AND FIND WEBSITE
FROM THE BLOG
From the Blog
Last Sunday’s Gospel was the story of Thomas, and of Jesus’ message,
“Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” The story of ‘Doubting
Thomas’ is aimed at all who will not see the Risen Lord, yet are asked to believe. We
are called to believe in what we cannot see or hear or touch, when even those closest
to Jesus had problems in accepting what was happening. Thomas wanted to believe in
the Risen Jesus, but he wasn’t the sort of person to pretend he understood something
when he didn’t. He wasn’t the sort of person that could pretend that he didn’t have
doubts when he did. Jesus was patient with him and showed him what he needed to
see. In the same way, the Risen Jesus will show us the way forward. Christ is always
in our midst inviting us to touch him and to believe. It important to remember that
doubt can be a good thing. Doubt means that we are still questioning something that
we care about. Doubt means that we are still looking for answers, that we are still
learning and growing.

Many people embark on some sort of religious pilgrimage to find answers and
meaning in their lives. Why not organise a pilgrim walk in your community for
people to experience?

HIGH IS THE HEAVEN, DEEP IS THE SEA

High is the Heaven, Deep is the Sea

High is the Heaven, Deep Is The Sea
High is the heaven, deep is the sea
Wide is your wisdom that calls us to be
Formed in your Spirit that we might reveal
Love is your dwelling, love is your dwelling,
O eternal mystery

And what of the world that it may reflect
The presence of God, this beauty on earth
Wise be the soul who longs to respect
The Creation of God from its birth to its death,

And what of the heart that yearns to be true
In care for another, in love for the poor
Embracing the wounds that long to be healed
In a harvest of love, in earths lonely fields

And what of the soul that searches for peace
Wearied from toil, yet burdened in sleep
Drink deep from the well in silence refined
Where hope is revealed and love is the sign

And what of the time that passes away
While only God’s love for all still remains
For all things shall pass and all things know change
For we are but Pilgrims, still finding the way

And what of our Joy that our hearts should know
The harvest of saints, gathered and grown
The gift to our day from cells hewn in stone
Columban of God, your name we make known

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a
moment that will never be again And what do we teach our children?
We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the
capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We
should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a
marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has
never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever
fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a
Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything.
Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm
another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all
work, to make the world worthy of its children.”
