THINKING ABOUT
SEPARATION OR DIVORCE?
Is your marriage or that of a relative or friend heading for
divorce? Do you know how to save that marriage? Or do you feel helpless?
Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) is designed to help troubled
marriages regain their health. It helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love,
trust and commitment that originally brought them together. The programme is
highly successful in saving hurting marriages, even bringing reconciliation to
couples that have already separated or divorced. For confidential information
about ‘Retrouvaille’, or to register for the programme commencing with a
residential weekend on 14h – 16h September 2018. EMail [email protected]
call or text 0788 7296983 0790 3380443 or visit www.retrouvaille.org.uk

Twentieth
Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of August 18/19
Jesus
announces that he is the “living bread.” And we understand that the Eucharist
is the centre of our life in faith: in our families, parish, local church and
throughout the world. We are the stewards of Christ’s life in the Eucharist. We
are called to put the Eucharist into action. How do we do that? St. Paul
enjoins us to be always grateful, to worship, to try to understand the will of
the Lord and to watch carefully how we live. What are some of the ways we can
put the Eucharist into action this week?
