The Sunday Mass.

In 2016 a number of changes were introduced to the text of the Sunday mass and weekday mass, one of these was where the reader came to the end of the reading, "this is" was dropped. This conclusion to the reading was replaced by "the word of the Lord".

 

Purgatory.

Purgatory is a temporary place where souls that are not completely pure through work and suffering and have refused to let God purify them go. Belief in Purgatory is evident in the early years of the church. Purgatory is the only way to make sense out of prayers for the dead. Our prayers help them in their suffering to become pure enough for heaven. And so the church has always prayed for the dead during November, the death of nature is a message for us all.

O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder            Then sings my soul, my saviour

consider all the works thy hands hath made           God to thee. How great thou art

I see the stars. I hear the rolling thunder,                       How great thou art! Then sing

thy power throughout the universe displayed.        my soul my saviour God to thee:

                                                                        How great thou art! How great

                                                                        thou art!

 

Offertory:

I, the Lord of Sea and Sky                                      I who made the stars of night

I have heard my people cry                                  I will make the darkness bright

All who dwell in dark and sin                                 Who will bear my light to them?

My hand will save.                                               Whom shall I send?                   

                                    Chorus.

                               Here I am Lord, is it I Lord?

                               I will hold your people in my heart.
