Words from Canon Niall
Most of us have been shaped and influenced by meritocracy. Merit is at the heart of our fairness standard. We’ve been told to earn our keep and that the early bird gets the worm. That may be the way we think but it’s not how the landowner thinks. He or she knows that the late birds are also hungry and that there are enough worms for every bird. That the late birds get a worm doesn’t take away the worm the early birds got. Or as the landowner says, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong.’ It’s not fair but that’s what the kingdom of heaven is like.
What if we began to live like that? In what ways is meritocracy controlling your life, defining your value, and distorting the way you see others?
Have a blessed week.
Welcome to our new priest Father Andrei ~ please keep him in your prayers.

Thresholds of Hope : the Vicariate for Adult Formation - another wonderful tool when proclaiming the good news of God's grace to all. St John Henry Newman believed that the lay faithful were to take a full part in the life of the Church, to be confident in expressing their Catholic Faith and willing to share its beauty with others. Hope you find this resource useful; more here https://thresholdsofhope.co.uk/
