Jesus works only when we cooperate and open ourselves to him.

Just a few thoughts

·         There are so many interesting items in today’s news. Just take your pick!
Fr Richard Leonard always provides an interesting modern point of view.

·         Feast of St Blaise – When I was a youngster in Holland this feast was taken seriously. Many people were fishers and fish was common food. There was a special Mass where people would receive a blessing for protection against throat disease [especially protection from fish bones stuck in the throat] The blessing involved a prayer as the priest placed 2 candles across the person’s throat.
