Father Greg Writes

      • On this Second Sunday of Ordinary Time, we hear John the Baptist’s powerful testimony in the Gospel: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” John points us unmistakably to Jesus—the one sent by the Father to heal, reconcile, and restore.
      • Peace Sunday reminds us that peace is at the very heart of Christ’s mission. Jesus is the Lamb who overcomes violence not with force, but with self-giving love. His peace flows from reconciliation with God and with one another. It is a peace that challenges injustice, heals division, and calls us to conversion of heart.
      • Today also marks the beginning of the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity. In the Gospel, John the Baptist makes it clear that his role is not to draw attention to himself, but to bear witness to Christ. This is also the foundation of Christian unity: as disciples, we are called to look beyond ourselves and our differences, and together to fix our gaze on the one Lord we share. Please come with me to an Ecumenical event on Sunday 25th January. 3pm. St Marys Dale Road Buxton just for an hour.
      • The Spirit who descended upon Jesus at the Jordan remains active in the Church today, urging us to become witnesses to peace. This is reflected in the work of Pax Christi, the Catholic movement for peace and reconciliation. Through prayer, education, and action, Pax Christi encourages us to live the Gospel of peace by addressing the causes of conflict, promoting justice, and standing in solidarity with the vulnerable. As we begin Ordinary Time, may this Sunday renew our baptismal calling to recognise Christ as the Lamb of God, to pray earnestly for unity among all Christians, and to commit ourselves—personally and as a parish—to the work of peace in our world.
