Father Hughs Message
Dear Friends in Christ,
It’s said that people stopped wearing hats everyday with the advent of motor cars. More and more people travelled in their own car, so there was no need to wear a hat. A shame really – I quite like hats, although some people suit hats, some people don’t (I don’t!). Part of our Norbertine habit is our white biretta which we are meant to wear – am afraid I think I look too much like the Pillsbury Doughboy to wear my too often. The hat the Bishop wears is quite distinctive. Now, have you ever wondered why the mitre is the shape it is? Probably not….. but let me tell you. It is because of today’s feast. The Bishop’s hat is meant to be shaped like a tongue – the tongues of flames which descended on the apostle’s at Pentecost.
It is an important sign for the Church. Today is the birthday of the Church and we celebrate as well that the Holy Spirit still moves in the Church and guides her course.
Pope Francis recently said, “the Christian identity is not an identity card: Christian identity is belonging to the Church, because all of these belonged to the Church, the Mother Church. Because it is not possible to find Jesus outside the Church. The great Paul VI said: “Wanting to live with Jesus without the Church, following Jesus outside of the Church, loving Jesus without the Church is an absurd dichotomy.” And the Mother Church that gives us Jesus gives us our identity that is not only a seal, it is a belonging. Identity means belonging. This belonging to the Church is beautiful.”
Today as we rejoice in the gift of the Holy Spirit, we rejoice that the Spirit still guides and leads the Church. Remember that next time you see the Bishops hat!
Please remember in your prayers all our First Holy Communion children. They have been fantastic and a special thanks to all those who helped prepare them for their special day with Jesus.
God love you
With every blessing, Fr Hugh
