OUR LADY OF LOURDES - NEW MILTON
NEW MILTON NEWSLETTER
St. Francis of Assisi and Our Lady of Lourdes Churches have a shared newsletter which will appear
on both pages. As this has been the custom for the last ten years we have decided to keep the tradition going.
It makes sense since we also share our Parish Priest, Fr. Gerrit Vervenne.To avoid confusion so that people don't arrive at the wrong church for particular events, New Milton will be presented in green while Milford will be in orange. Special notices applying to both churches will be in brown.
However, so that we can keep in touch with each other it would be nice if we read the green and the orange as well as the brown

PRAYER/REFLECTION In His Presence
Lord, I place myself in your presence.
After the strain and turmoil of the day
I rest quietly here, as a little boat,
which has been tossed by the waves
and buffeted by the wind,
rests secure in a sheltered harbour.
Here my projects lose their power over me.
A healing process begins.
My fragmented self is reassembled
and I am made whole again.
In your presence, I experience my true worth,
which consists not in doing but in being.
I surrender myself into your hands. I am at peace.
