On this weeks programme we nearly have a full team back as John, Lorraine and Shane are on air with this weeks programme. We have a general round up of some bits & bobs, as well as our regular reflection on the Sunday gospel and our liturgical odds & ends including the celestial guides for the coming week.

Gospel - Luke 1:39-44


Mary set out and went as quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? For the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’
