Fr Greg writes: In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of the wedding feast to which everyone is invited. God’s invitation is offered to each one of us, but we must be prepared to respond wholeheartedly. Our faith is not simply about turning up; it is about allowing Christ to change our lives and preparing ourselves to share fully in the joy of his Kingdom. As we begin a new week, let us ask ourselves whether we are truly responding to the Lord’s invitation.
This week marks the beginning of Prisoners’ Week. We remember in our prayers all those in prison, their families, victims of crime, and all who work within the prison service. We pray especially for those seeking forgiveness, rehabilitation and a new beginning, remembering that every person is created in the image of God and is never beyond the reach of his mercy. There will be a second collection this weekend for the work of PACT, which is the national Catholic prison charity.
Today is the fourth and final Sunday of our Mass count. Thank you to everyone who has helped with this important task. Next Sunday, the second collection will be taken for World Mission Sunday, supporting the Church’s missionary work throughout the world, particularly in communities where resources are scarce.
We give thanks for the success of Pope Leo’s recent visit to Lourdes and France, and for the encouragement his presence has brought to the Church. May his ministry continue to strengthen our faith and inspire us to be witnesses of Christ’s love and peace.
October is traditionally the Month of the Rosary. Pope Leo has invited us to pray the Rosary daily, specifically for peace in our troubled world. I encourage everyone to make time each day for this beautiful prayer, bringing before Our Lady the needs of our families, our parish, and all those affected by war and conflict. Through Mary’s intercession, may we become instruments of Christ’s peace.
PACT is a Catholic charity offering practical and compassionate support to prisoners, people with convictions, and their children and families, helping people rebuild their lives and strengthen family relationships. Our 2nd collection this weekend will support their important work. Envelopes are available at the back of church, and donations can also be made using the online giving machines in Buxton. Please give whatever you can and keep those supported by Pact in your prayers. See www.prisonadvice.org.uk for more information

The Diocese of Nottingham's Formation for Mission Department is inviting catechists to a day on REIMAGINING CATECHESIS, led by the team from GIFT — Growing in Faith Together.
