Come and join us tomorrow 5th February for our Parish Mass at 10.30 a.m. In our Gospel reading Jesus tells the crowds (this is straight after he gives them the Beatitudes) that he did not come to earth to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfil them, and that not even the stroke of a letter of the Law will disappear until everything has been accomplished. In this way he throws cold water over those who thought that he came to earth to foment revolution and overthrow the Roman rulers of Judea.
