ORDINATION DAY

Image
SAINT BARNABAS Apostle     We read that in the first days of the Church, "the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul; neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own." Of this fervent company, one only is singled out by name, Joseph, a rich Levite, from Cyprus. "He having land sold it, and brought the price and laid it at the feet of the apostles." They now gave him a new name, Barnabas, the son of consolation. 'You are a priest for ever; a priest like Melchizadek of old'. + Please pray for those men to be ordained to the Sacred Priesthood  at Brentwood Cathedral today. + Revv David Waller, Jon Ravensadle, Robert Page, Ivor Morris, Lee Bennett, Robert White & Jeffrey Woolnough '...never let me be parted from you'. Fr Jeff Woolnough celebrates the Mass at St Pius X 9am Pentecost Sunday. Frs Bob White & Jeff Woolnough concelebrate the 10.30am Mass at St Teresa's Rochford.
