4th Week of Ordinary Time, Year B

Lord our God, help us to love you with all our hearts, and to love all people as you love them.

Quote of the Week

“ ‘Here is a teaching that is new,’ they said, ‘and with authority behind it: he even gives orders to unclean spirits and they obey him.’ ”

Mark chapter 1, Verse 27 (JB)

Bible Study

The next Bible Study will take place on Thursday 2nd of February at 8pm in the Chapel. We will, as usual, look at the readings for the following Sunday - 5th Sunday in Orindary Time (Year B):

These readings can be most easily found in an ordinary Sunday Missal. The gospel can also be read on our this Sunday’s Gospel page

As well as looking at the Sunday readings, we will also read Chapters 5-8 of the Gospel of Mark out loud as a group. This will help us as we focus on this Gospel through the coming year.
