🎶Worship Wednesday🎶
So this week I have decided to share something a bit (or a lot) different!
It has been stuck in my head for a few days.
"Say yes" by Michelle Williams ft. Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland.

I've chosen this song this week because it is fun to dance to so I hope you are going to be dancing to it.
Also because there are so many truths in it.
"I'm not worried about a thing, 'cause I know You are guiding me"
"there's no limit to what You can do"

Let's all trust in these words, fall back into the arms of God. And have a great dance around the house!

🎼 Worship Wednesday 🎼

This week I have chosen a beautiful worship moment from David Funk 'Touch of Heaven / Alabaster Heart'

There are so many beautiful lyrics in this collage of songs but the whole sentiment is summed up with
'All I want is to live within Your love
Be undone by Who You are
My desire is to know you deeper'

Let's open up our hearts and pray with this wonderful surrender - Your will Lord, transform me by Your love, I give you my everything, there's nothing I want more than You!

- Ruth

🎼 Worship Wednesday 🎼
" I am good and you are loved" blasted through my speakers, words I hadn't planned on hearing, but planned by God so I would hear. That is how I know He is good and I am loved because He never fails to remind me , even when I am standing in my kitchen , preparing tea after a really challenging day !
I needed to hear this song one day last week when I was having a , ' I don't' know what to do' moment and God made sure I heard these lyrics, making sure my thoughts were rerouted to Him , reminding me who I am and who I belong to .
As the song says -
'They'll be times when you're up
And times when you're down
I'm never too far
Just look around and you'll find Me
I'm by your side, arms open wide'
He is so amazingly good and we are all so amazingly loved, so let's blast this into our homes and into our hearts right now and let's be reminded of those open arms that are waiting for each one of us. There is so much love for each of us , let's live in it. youtu.be/DefL-oJpjo8

🎼 Worship Wednesday 🎼

The song I wanted to share this week is 'Catch Me Singing' by The Worship Initiative, and if you've bumped into me over the last couple of weeks, you just might have caught me singing this song!!

I feel like this song is just such a joyful proclamation of the hope of the Easter season. I love the lyrics of the chorus, "I will trust You in the famine, I will bless You in the feast, when I'm standing in the victory, when I'm on my knees", reminding me that no matter the circumstances of my life, the Lord is worthy of my praise.

This song just proclaims Jesus' victory over the grave so powerfully: "Jesus the process is a mystery, but Your promise never fades, this story has an empty grave".

Sometimes my mind is just blown by Jesus' love for me, dying on the Cross so I can have eternal life with Him in Heaven. But whether I can understand this sacrifice or not, Jesus' promise never fades. His love never fades.

"I will praise you at the rising,
And the setting sun,
You're gonna catch me singing when the springtime comes"

- Anna

Please take a look at the attached info and pass it around as far and wide as possible so that we can find the ideal missionaries to join us.

**Gospel for Thursday 13th May 2021, Ascension of the Lord, Year B: Mark 16:15-20**

**Happy Feast of the Ascension!**

**It isn't Sunday but it's a Solemnity so like a Sunday! So after the Gospel passage you will find a reflection to help you get the most out of this celebration. We hope you will find it useful!**

Jesus showed himself to the Eleven and said to them:

‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned. These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.’

And so the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven: there at the right hand of God he took his place, while they, going out, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that accompanied it.

**Reflection**

Today we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. It is now 40 days since Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead. In that time He showed himself not only to the disciples but many more people, in fact in 1 Cor 15:6 it mentions that Jesus appeared to more than 500. The first word of today’s reading is “Jesus showed himself …”. It speaks of how much Jesus wants to show himself to all people. For people to know Him and to know how much He loves them. We see this in His final words to the disciples to “go out to the whole world, proclaim the Good News to all creation”.

So what is this Good News? In a nutshell, it is that God loves us so much that Jesus came to suffer and die for us so that we could have forgiveness for our sins. Jesus accomplished His mission through His life, death and resurrection and now He has returned to heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father. He conquered death so that we too can have salvation and eternal life. It is a free gift, not something we need to earn.

I wonder how the disciples must have felt as they watched their beloved Jesus be taken up to heaven. In the first reading (Acts 1:1-11) we hear how Jesus told the disciples “you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit …” but at this time they probably didn’t fully understand what that meant or understand that Jesus needed to go to be with the Father so that the Holy Spirit could come to be with all those who believe. The Holy Spirit is part of the Good News.

When I first read this reading I felt very unworthy to be preparing a reflection on proclaiming the gospel to all creation and on the signs that would follow. It made me ask myself ‘am I going out and proclaiming the good news to all creation?’ ‘Do I see signs and wonders happening when I pray?

Many years ago a friend told me that she had inner peace because Jesus was in her life. This was a turning point for me, because even though I was going to Mass every Sunday, I didn’t have that inner peace. It made me turn more to Jesus, to eventually give my life fully to Him and to invite the Holy Spirit to fill me and use me. She didn’t realise what her words had done for me and I suppose we never realise how much we have helped others by sharing our faith with them, even in small ways.

As I’ve meditated on this I realise I’m not like St Peter preaching to the 1000s, but I do see God opening the door for me to share His love with people, often in small ways, through offering to pray (for them or with them), reminding them that God loves them or giving a short testimony of what God has done for me. When I’ve done this I’ve been amazed at the signs that follow. I’d like to say I take every opportunity but sadly sometimes I miss the chance because of doubt or fear. It’s a reminder to me of how much I need Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. It is certainly not something I can do in my own strength. Jesus may have ascended into heaven and sits are the right hand of God but through the Holy Spirit He is with each one of us, we are never alone and He will never leave us. “The Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that accompanied it”.

We are all called to be other “Christs” to people, to make Him known and to spread the love of God to others. To be brave despite our fears and inadequacies. To step out in faith and rely on the Holy Spirit to work through us. We are all different and God gives us different gifts to use to bring others to Him. It’s only in stepping out that we will see the signs that follow believers. In the second reading (Ephesians 4:1-13) it says that “each one of us has been given his own share of grace, given as Christ allotted it” and it goes on to say that we all have different gifts “so that the saints together make a unity in the work of service, building up the body of Christ.” We can do this!

When Jesus had ascended into heaven the disciples didn’t immediately start preaching to people, in fact they went to the upper room and prayed for nine days (the first novena). At Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came on them, they received the power to preach and the boldness they needed to do it. This reminds us of the importance of prayer. Tomorrow we start the nine days leading up to Pentecost and it’s an opportunity for us to prepare for Pentecost, to pray a novena for the power of the Holy Spirit to fall afresh on us, so that we too can share the Good News. Come Holy Spirit.
