Our bible study was small yesterday but it was FULL of great conversation, honesty and vulnerability. Yesterday we explored Ephesians 2. We read about how salvation is a gift, that there is nothing we could do to earn Gods love & spoke about how Jesus came to bring reconciliation to the world. We spoke about how to balance business as students & how to give God time whilst deadlines loom! We were particularly struck by Ephesians 2: 20-22 ‘you are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.’ We LOVE the fact that we are Gods temple & if we remain in him and become rooted in him we will become the people we were created to be. We prayed for Sheffield, our families & set ourself little challenges that will lead us to be closer to God this week! What could you do today to become closer to God? ✝️
Wasn’t yesterday’s Mass Nugget incredibly inspiring? Meg shared so beautifully about how God is teaching her to be patient with her faith, to be easy on herself and to find quiet time alone with God to hear him in the silence. Meg shared about how in France she discovered more about who God is and felt like God showed her that no matter where you are in the world, if you need him, church is your refuge and god will be your strength. She shared that as a young person of today we are often faced with many challenges living in a very liberal world and it can often be difficult to voice what is right. To help her find truth, Meg on her way to Uni, has started saying the rosary which was inspired by Fr lee's words about the rosary being your weapon and how in saying the rosary God empowers you to face everything going on in your life with courage. She ended by encouraging the cathedral to find God in all the things they love. God is with meg in her surfing and God can be with us in our Monday morning coffees, our gym sessions, our pre drinks our everything! Let’s find God in everything we do this week. ☺️🎉🙏
Lord help us to KNOW this truth, that nothing we can do can separate us from your love. It’s reading week, exams and essays are looming & the nights are getting colder & darker. A perfect reason then to come and sit at the feet of Jesus and let him fill you with his peace. Our worship night is back on tonight, come and join us for a home cooked meal & time of prayer and praise. All are welcome! 6:30 at the chaplaincy 😇
INVITATION TIME! 🎉🎉 Free this Saturday & interested in exploring a bit more about Mission Hub? Why not come along to our first mission hub interest meeting. We’ll have Mass, times of prayer, give you an update on the story of mission hub and the current happenings/ plans for the year, and of course end with an obligatory pub trip! If you fancy coming along do let us know. All are welcome ☺️
Second bible study is complete! How beautiful it was. Today we started journeying through St Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. We spoke about ‘spiritual blessings’ and why God gives us spiritual blessings to transform us and to give glory to him. We were reminded about what God has done for each of us and personally shared about how the Holy Spirit impacts our lives. Finally we reflected upon what stops us from being enlightened & prayed that this week we would be enlightened to the promises and gifts God has for us. WHAT A LOT TO PRAY INTO! PRAISE GOD FOR SHEFFIELD AND HIS BEAUTIFUL PLAN! 🙌🌈❣️ ‘May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, how rich is the glory of the heritage he offers among his Holy people, and how extraordinarily great is the power that he has exercised for us believers.’ Ephesians 1: 18-19
Happy Monday everyone! Yesterday’s Mass Nugget was all about the humanity of Jesus, shared beautifully by our worship leader David. David shared about how recently he’s been discovering more and more about the humanity of Jesus and the importance of this. The fact that God was FULLY human and FULLY divine. This means he completely understands what it’s like to be us, he lived live us, worked like us, hungered like us, hurt like us. David shared how Jesus’ humanity was one of the most humbling acts God could have done & we can come before God in total confidence knowing that God knows exactly what’s its like. What a beautiful word. Let’s pray this week that we discover more and more about who Jesus is and have the faith to come before him just as we are. ☺️
HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY! Come and celebrate tonight at the chaplaincy. We’ve got enough food to feed the 5000 so no excuse to not come and have a meal! 18:00- Mass 18:30- Meal 19:15 - Praise & Worship
I remember growing up I used to hate Holy Days of obligation. My usual response would be ‘but why do I have to go to mass when I’ve already been once this week’ or ‘this is such an inconvenience, I’ve got so much to do’ or ‘what even is this day anyways’… The list could go on and on. But what I’ve come to realise is that Holy Days are given by the Church as a GIFT. The Church is reminding us about some of the most important parts of our faith, the Church is giving us a day to celebrate, to rest and to be JOYFUL. Tomorrow marks All Saints day. Tomorrow we will be reminded that we are part of one big family on earth and in heaven. We are reminded that we are surrounded by a great crowd of Saints cheering us on, inspiring us, helping us, praying for us and most importantly who love us. Tomorrow we will be reminded of our calling; to ‘not be afraid in being the saints of the new millennium’ (St John Paul II). So tomorrow, I challenge you to be extra joyful, extra restful and extra prayerful! Come and celebrate with the chaplaincy our Catholic Family. Come and be inspired in Mass by the saints and most importantly why don’t you offer Mass tomorrow for yourself, to be open in being the Saint God created you to be. Mass will be at 18:00 at the Chaplaincy or check the Cathedral Website for other Mass times.
Well yesterday was fabulous! A few of us got together for a girls bible study, we caught up, had a laugh, had a time of prayer and then read the bible together. It was beautiful. We read Psalm 37 and spoke about our desires & how there is no room for doubt in Gods promise. We then read some of Philippians and was struck about how whenever St Paul greeted the church (either the church in Rome or the church in Ephesus ect) he’d always share about what he prayed for them, which got us thinking. How would we greet the church in Sheffield? What are our prayers for the church in Sheffield? What message if we were St Paul would we give to Sheffield? Our prayer was that students would find purpose, they would be lights in the darkness & be the students God created them to be. If you’d like to come along to our next bible study send us a message! ☺️🌟❤️
HAPPY MONDAY❣️ Yesterday’s Mass was beautiful & we had such a great Mass Nugget given by Rex. Rex shared about how recently God has been teaching her about obedience & how to be obedient to him in all situations & circumstances. Two things that have helped her with this obedience is the novena of surrender and the 33 day consecration to Mary. Rex shared how through the consecration, Mary has been leading her closer to Jesus & how much Mary’s prayers have been helping her in her relationship with God. She’s been on a journey of love recently and discovering the perfect love Jesus has for her. What an encouragement for this week, to ask for Mary’s intercession, to be obedient to have prayer time with God & to really seek God through the prayers the church have given us. Let’s also pray for Rex this week, that she carries on discovering who Jesus is, that she carries on being obedient to God & that this week she has the confidence to share her faith even more boldly. Praise God for you Rex! 🌟🌟🌟
