Dear Friends,

With the weather at the moment being so changeable there are some days where it feels like the long summer may be continuing for a little while longer, and then suddenly the jacket needs to come out and you think to yourself "ah, Autumn is definitely here then!" as the rain and wind gusts around you. Personally, I don't enjoy this time of season, the nights are drawing in but it’s not cold enough to get the fire on, the curtains remain in a sort of "will they, won't they" position, sometimes we close them, and then other times they get left, it is all a bit unsettling.

We are fortunate that we have a God who does not change like the weather, He is constant in his love for us and in his goodness. "Do not be deceived, my beloved. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change".

With my prayers and best wishes. Fr. Richard
