Hello
Tranmere community.
Fr Timothy Radcliffe shares this story to conclude his homily for
this Sunday:
We cannot go to heaven alone. Charles
Péguy, the French poet, tells us that if we try to God will say: ‘Where are the
others?’ We come with our fellow servants.
When a selfish woman died, the angels struggled to find a reason to smuggle her
into heaven. Then they remembered that she had once given an onion to a beggar.
So they lowered down an onion on its string to where she was swimming in the
sea of Hell.
She swam towards it and clung on and the angels began to pull her up. But
others came after her and tried to hold on to it too, but she kicked them off
shouting, ‘It’s mine.’
The string broke.

People are always saying, “Take it one
day at a time.”
But is there any other way to take it?
