WELCOME
TO SS BENET’S & JOHN FISHER CATHOLIC CHURCH
In Southwark Diocese UK
Served by the Vincentians (Congregation of the Mission)
A
warm welcome to you all,
“On this mountain,
for all peoples, Yahweh Sabaoth is preparing .A banquet of
rich food, a banquet of fine wines, Of succulent food, of well-strained
wines. On this mountain, he has destroyed
The veil which used to veil all peoples. The pall enveloping
all nations; He has destroyed death forever. Lord Yahweh has
wiped away the tears from every
cheek; He has taken his people’s shame everywhere on earth. For Yahweh
has spoken.”
(Isaiah 25: 6 – 8)
This is God’s
dream for all humanity !!!! God is envisioning a world where
all people from every nation, culture and tradition
could be able to come together and celebrate life in its fullness.
God is dreaming of a world without racial, social, cultural,
age or sexual discrimination. God is yearning for a world without
boundaries, a community which is inclusive, safe and hospitable
towards everyone. A community in which one can celebrate and
ritualise life in all its intense experiences and emotions. A
community where one can call home!!! A community where God dwells
within!!!
We, at St Benet’s, acknowledge that we are still pilgrims
on a journey and yet hope that we will make a difference and
help to make God’s dream a reality in our world today!!!
Hopefully, in going
through our website, you will be imbued by the Spirit of God’s
dream as well.
With affection
