EUCHARISTIC
MINISTERS
Could Father Matt
have a word with eucharistic ministers, if he has not already spoken to you, after
whichever Mass you are at either this weekend, please?
THE CHILDREN'S READINGS AND THE SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMME
We are compelled
to wait till we have Disclosure Scotland documents in place for everyone who helps.
The delay is an embarrassment and a loss for the children so if you have a document
at home awaiting return could you bring or send it immediately? If your child
would benefit from the very worthwhile programme, then could you volunteer your
services now and the Disclosure Scotland forms will be given or sent to you. Men
make good catechists too!
'THE
SUNDAY TOILET PARADE'
I fully understand that children will always need to
go out to the toilet during Mass but I would very much appreciate if the fairly
constant parade could at least stop for the Consecration, the most sacred part
of our Sunday Mass. In a case of necessity, I will be happy to pause until they
leave.

Second
Reading
Thessalonians
4:13-18
We
want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have died, to make sure
that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope. We
believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that it will be the same for those
who have died in Jesus: God will bring them with him. We can tell you this from
the Lord's own teaching, that any of us who are left alive until the Lord's coming
will not have any advantage over those who have died. At the trumpet of God, the
voice of the archangel will call out the command and the Lord himself will come
down from heaven; those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise, and
then those of us who are still alive will be taken up in the clouds, together
with them, to meet the Lord in the air. So we shall stay with the Lord for ever.
With such thoughts as these you should comfort one another.
Gospel
Matthew
25:1-13
Jesus
told this parable to his disciples: "The kingdom of heaven will be like this:
Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them
were foolish and five were sensible: the foolish ones did take their lamps, but
they brought no oil, whereas the sensible ones took flasks of oil as well as their
lamps. The bridegroom was late, and they all grew drowsy and fell asleep. But
at midnight there was a cry, "The bridegroom is here! Go out and meet him."
At this, all those bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps, and the foolish
ones said to the sensible ones, "Give us some of your oil: our lamps are
going out." But they replied, "There may not be enough for us and for
you; you had better go to those who sell it and buy some for yourselves."
They had gone off to buy it when the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready
went in with him to the wedding hall and the door was closed. The other bridesmaids
arrived later. "Lord, Lord," they said "open the door for us."
But he replied, "I tell you solemnly, I do not know you." So stay awake,
because you do not know either the day or the hour.".
