NEW TRANSLATION: The new Mass responses are printed on the reverse of the bulletin. At weekday Mass please take a card. It will take us some time to get accustomed to the changes. Thank you for your patience so far! The Sunday homilies over the next few weeks will focus on the different parts of the Mass and the words that have changed. FRIDAY FAST: Some gesture to mark the significance of Friday, as the day our Saviour died for us, has always been encouraged. The Bishops from this Friday (the first anniversary of Pope Benedicts visit) would like to return a communal act of penance by asking everyone to abstain from meat on Fridays, or from other food for those who dont eat meat. Many may wish to go beyond this simple act of common penance with a time of prayer and self-sacrifice.
