Thirtieth Sunday of the Year
The following was chosen inspired by the story of Bartimaeus in today’s
Gospel reading.
My Lord God I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that my desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.
From Thoughts in Solitude - Thomas Merton.
Enough is enough: You may have seen the full page advert (p.19) in the latest edition of the Advertiser inviting people to add their names to an online petition calling on the government to end the continual marches and demonstrations in the centre of our town.
I ask you please to add your name to the petition which can be found at
