Today we give thanks for St Richard of Chichester. Mass is at 12 noon at St John the Baptist, Timberhill: you're always welcome to join us. Born in 1197, Richard worked hard for his yeoman father, later studying at Oxford and Paris and in Bologna as an ecclesiastical lawyer. On returning to England in 1235, he was made Chancellor of Oxford and eventually Chancellor to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Edmund of Abingdon. Following Ordination, he served for a time as a parish priest and then became Bishop of Chichester. He was seen as a model diocesan bishop: progressing around his diocese on foot, visiting and caring for the people, being accessible to all, reforming the clergy, assisting the poor and promoting the dignity of the Mass. He died in April 1253, considered a living saint, and following his canonisation his mortal remains were translated to Chichester 750 years ago today, 16 June 1276. We offer today's Mass particularly for our bishops.

'Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth: serve the Lord with gladness; come before him, singing for joy!' So we sang in the psalm at Mass this morning. Every day we have the privilege of coming before the living Lord in worship and prayer, and of going to the altar of the God of our joy and gladness. You're always welcome to join us: here's what's on this week at St John the Baptist, Timberhill with St Julian's, Norwich.

Yesterday morning we were very glad to welcome 36 Psychology students from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, USA to The Julian Shrine as part of a six-week study tour in Italy, Greece and the UK. Fr Richard spoke to the students about the theological insights and teaching of Julian of Norwich, and then one of the student researchers was able to offer a presentation in St Julian's.

In the Gospel tomorrow, we hear that 'when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.' Our Good Shepherd reveals the depth and power of his love for us in his Sacred Heart. As we give thanks for this love, we'd be so glad to welcome you to worship with us tomorrow. There's Low Mass at 9am at St Julian's, High Mass at 11am at St John's (with the Rector preaching and refreshments afterwards) and Evening Prayer (BCP) at 6pm at St John's. See you tomorrow!

Today we give thanks for the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mass is at 12 noon at St John the Baptist, Timberhill: you're always welcome to join us. St Luke's Gospel tells us twice that Mary 'kept all these things in her heart', pondering the word of God and the activity of the Holy Spirit who speaks to us in the depths of our hearts. The heart of our Lady, which has come to a inner unity and so 'sees God', is perfectly attuned to the will of God, so we offer today's Mass praying for the gift of true conversion of heart.
