My prayers are with the Jewish community after the appalling antisemitic attack on Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green.

Such acts of violence, hatred and intimidation have no place in our society.

"I am the resurrection and the life", says Jesus. The raising of Lazarus is a sign pointing to the greater reality of the Resurrection, Jesus himself who will pass over into the limitless life of God, taking with him our humanity. Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!

A convivial time was had by all at "Curry and Theology" this evening @ChurchColindale, looking at the Mystery of Salvation as we prepare to celebrate Holy Week and Easter.

Jesus asks the woman at the well for a drink, but his true thirst is for her faith. From being on the margins of her community, she is empowered to bring the good news to her people that the Messiah has come. John 4.5-42. Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!

[ColindaleChurch @ChurchColindale]

At times the darkness of the world seems overwhelming. And yet many, like Nicodemus, still come to Jesus "by night", because "God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved". Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!

[ColindaleChurch @ChurchColindale]

After his baptism, Jesus is led by the Spirit in the wilderness to fast and be tempted by the devil, and passes the test. The Church follows him in spirit through #Lent, as we return to God and learn to be God's people once again. Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale , all welcome!

[ColindaleChurch @ChurchColindale]

The glory of Jesus is revealed on the holy mountain, and the disciples must learn what it means to say that he is the Son of God, as they follow him on the journey to the cross and resurrection. Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!

[ColindaleChurch @ChurchColindale]

"Do not worry", says Jesus, three times, in tomorrow's Gospel. Not escapism, but part of the Sermon on the Mount's invitation to live in a world ordered by God's generosity and providence, rather than by our possession and rivalry. Parish Mass 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!

[ColindaleChurch @ChurchColindale]

Simeon and Anna rejoice as they meet the infant Christ, the fulfilment of their hopes, "a light for revelation
to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel". Parish Mass for the Presentation of Christ 11am @ChurchColindale, all welcome!
