We pray for our Holy Father, Pope Leo, that he may he be a good shepherd, a kind shepherd, a faithful shepherd, a wise shepherd and a challenging shepherd in whatever God wills for him in the exercise of his Petrine ministry.
May we not burden him with our expectations about he should do, but simply support him with our prayers, our affection and our love.
We pray for the universal Church in these days of renewal. We pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We pray for our Holy Father, Pope Leo.
Amen.

Weekly reflection
WEEKLY UPDATE— FATHER SIMON
In the One, we are one - In illo uno unum
These past weeks we have experienced an uplifting and tangible expression of the universality of the Church and all those ties of faith and communion that hold us together as one family in Christ.
The motto of our new Pope Leo XIV, taken from St Augustine of Hippo, expresses this unity: In illo uno unum. Even from our own diocese several of our priests have known Pope Leo ( then Fr Robert Prevost OSA) when they and he worked in the Diocese of Chulacanas in Peru. The dioceses of Arundel and Brighton and Chulacanas are twinned.
This weekend we welcome Fr Peter Smith to make an appeal. Hearing from a priest who has ministered in Africa again reminds us of the interconnectedness of the Church and the life of mission we are all called to share in the Body of Christ. Let us embrace our mission in supporting Fr Peter in his appeal and renew our dedication to the mission we have been blessed with here in Epsom. In the One, we are one.
Finally, our Congratulations, to all 68 of our First Holy Communion children and families who have received Our Lord for the first time last weekend.
It was a beautiful celebration for all and our prayers will continue to be with all the children.
With every Blessing
Fr Simon
