UPDATE FROM FATHER SIMON
‘The Journey of Faith’
The journey of faith is made up of many milestones both personal and shared. This year, 2025, is a milestone of remarkable significance as it is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea-Constninople from which we have the name of the Creed which bears it's name and we prayerfully recite Sunday by Sunday.
The background to the Councils (gatherings of the Bishops of the Church) held in the Fourth Century may feel rather remote and lost in the mists of time but in fact we know a great deal and the questions raised then are as relevant today : Who is Jesus Christ? Such was the impact of Jesus upon His first followers that it took generations of Christan believers to find the language, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to express the fullest reality of Christ. By the time of Nicea-Constantinople (locations in modern day Turkey where the Councils were held), a deacon, by the name of Arius was teaching that Jesus Christ was not fully Divine, more of a demi-God, and in fact most of the Church, especially the Bishops followed Arius. Just because you wear a Mitre it doesn't mean you can't get it wrong sometimes. Those gathered at Nicea-Constantinople, faithfully interpreting Scripture and Tradition declared that Jesus is : God from God, Light from Light, True God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father'
Thus the amazing Catholic balancing act that Jesus if both truly human and Divine, a Divine Person sharing a nature of humanity and divinity. If Jesus was not human, He could not authentically share His life with us. If He was not Divine, He could not save us.
This year the parish will celebrate many milestones : Baptisms,First Holy Communions,Confirmations,Marriages, Each one an encounter with the same Jesus Christ as believed and lived by those at Nicea-Constantinople and every generation. In this 1700th anniversary, let us re-learn the Creed and commit it to memory so that we can pray it not only with our lips but from our hearts and ponder the beauty and power of Jesus Christ, the love of the Father and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
God Bless
