NOVEMBER DEAD LIST Demand for masses was very high last year.
Please therefore present your intentions ASAP and I will endeavour to say
mass on the day requested or the nearest available date thereafter.

In receiving gifts from our creator, we become co-creators, because a gift cannot be
developed unless we co-operate with it and with the giver, the creator. It is in that act
of co-operation that we become co-creators, instruments in bringing the gift to
fruition, so that we can in turn bestow it on others.
It is an awesome responsibility to take seriously the gifts and talents we have
received and to use them to their fullest potential – to nurture them with care, love
and devotion and with imagination, creativity, zeal and hard work … to rejoice in
them and to give thanks for them, knowing they are not just for ourselves but for the
good of all creation.

The gift turned inward, unable to be given becomes a heavy burden, even sometimes
a kind of poison. It is as though the flow of life was backed up.
