Mass was “uncancelled” for this week after all and is definitely on next week – maybe. The local spread of Covid 19 appears to have stopped again, so I’m out of scrubs at work again, but who knows. Since, for the most part, governments in Australia listen to their health advisors, our outbreaks tend to be a combination of bad luck, incompetent application of policy and strange decisions made by individuals to defy precautions. All of the above are likely to recur so everything remains provisional.
Our meetings have been getting messed up by all this as well, so our leader has done the next few weeks on her own. She loves Marty Haugen music, as do I.

Hi Geoff and other lovers of Marty Haugen music. One of our favourites of Marty’s music at Holy Spirit Parish Cranbrook is Love Beyond All Telling published by GIA as a piece of sheet music. It was written for a wedding or a wedding anniversary I believe but we use it at offertory and communion time. It fits many themes including creation and God’s love and mercy to all. His Lyric Psalter series with Tony Alonso from GIA has some lovely psalms and can be purchased in PDF form for minimal cost avoiding freight costs from the USA.
Thanks, Donna, I’ll have a listen.
