The Gospel of (Mark 4:26-34) the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time beholds two parables. The first refers to sowing and fruit bearing, the second illustrates the growth of the God’s kingdom from something hidden and minute to something fully visible. The mustard plant presents a contrast between the smallness of the present kingdom and the relative largeness of it in its fullness. Jesus chooses a common plant to describe how the kingdom could be working its way into something amazingly large from the tiniest whisper of a beginning. At that time, together both parables would be mystifying to some but for those who followed Jesus were given further insight, these were represented by the birds taking shade in the shrub and were in fact the Disciples; the hungry listeners.

Last Sunday celebrated the feast of Corpus Christi. The festival of Corpus Christi celebrates the Eucharist as the body of Christ. The name 'Corpus Christi' is Latin for 'the body of Christ'. This jubilant festival is celebrated to proclaim the truth of the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the actual body and blood of Christ during Mass. 1.The human person cannot live without the experience of divine love and human love.  The human person cannot live without the experience of divine intimacy and human intimacy.  The human person cannot live without communion.  Man becomes fully realized in communion because he is created for communion by a God who is the most perfect communion (1.From the Vatican website).

I'm going to streamline the website, removing pages which I think are out of date or are not used. If you have any suggestions or requirements for a page (or more) on this website, do let me know.

St.Peter’s Catholic Church, Biggleswade.Last Sunday was Trinity
Sunday,it is celebrated a week after Pentecost Sunday also known as
Holy Trinity Sunday and is one of the central mysteries of our faith.
We can never fully understand the mystery of the Trinity, but we can
sum it up in the following formula: God is three Persons in one. The
three Persons of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—are all equally God,
and They cannot be divided. We do believe in one God, just as we say
in the Creed, but He is three persons.
