Questions

 Q.
The Holy Spirit is called the Advocate and the Paraclete.
What do these names mean?
A. Actually the two names are really the same except
that Paraclete is a Greek word and Advocate is its Latin translation.
Ad-vocatus literally means one called to your side. In the
legal world an advocate is one who pleads your case. Saint
John applied these names to both Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
These lovely names express the presence of God at our side
in times of trouble.

Coping
with the Pain of Abuse
By now the leaflets have been distributed to all houses
in the three parishes. Hopefully you have had the chance to
read it and maybe you might encourage family members to read
it, including those who may be living outside the parish.
This afternoon in the big church there will be a special service
praying for those affected in any way by abuse in the past.
You are welcome to come along and pray with us, the priests
of the three parishes and others on this difficult topic.
