		<title>Celebrating the Rite of Election</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Catholic Communications Network has efficiently compiled a report of the numbers attending a Rite of Election, held on either Saturday or Sunday of last weekend (1st of Lent) from each of the dioceses in England and Wales.  Once again the numbers reveal a consistent response from people who have made an active choice to [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Cooking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In her blog last week Caroline asked are we ready for the third period the Rite of Election heralds? Before we file this rite away until 2011, I would like to suggest that we ask ourselves, are we ready to think of a time in the not too distant future when we celebrate the Rite [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Rite of Election approaches &#8211; are we ready?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday next, 1st Sunday of Lent, our catechumens and candidates from across the Diocese will gather in the Cathedral, and be presented to our Bishop with the words :
'They have found strength in God's grace, and support in our community's prayers and example.  Now they ask that after the celebration of the scrutinies, they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rite of Welcome/Acceptance in the West Country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often wonder why some communities ignore the Rite of Acceptance into the Catechumenate  and the Rites of Welcome for candidates,  perhaps  for fear of imposing a burden on people, but they are missing  some  exciting opportunities in the process.   Our parish looks forward to celebrating these rites each year. At our recent combined Rite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting souls free…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A conversation a couple of weeks ago has left me wondering … if the person to whom I was speaking was seeking full communion with the Church (they weren’t) how would the Team deal with what the person came with?
It was clear from the conversation that there were some mental health issues but, sensing some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cometh the hour&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'd always dutifully thought of the miracle at Cana in terms of a foretaste of the new wine of the Kingdom. I've always listened to the homily! But at Mass today another thought crept in, a picture of Jesus at this morning's wedding, waiting for a sign: when to begin the Great Work. Having refused [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baptized into a Way of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things happen when Jesus is ‘at prayer’.  ‘At prayer’ for Jesus is definitely not about a cozy chat with the Father but about the possibility of being transformed in such a way as to be open to ‘not my will but yours be done’. This week we are invited to reflect on what it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The coming of the Magi &#8211; a message for our time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To many people the Magi are the ‘three wise men’ of Christmas cards and  nativity plays, and of the carols we learnt as children. Yet what little we know of them suggests that they were on a journey of faith. Whatever their religious background we presume that they were not Jews yet they made the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeking Resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time this was going to be an article for the Newsletter but lack of space prevented pen being put on paper or fingers to keyboard. The article is about finding resources on the web. It makes more sense to put it on the web and maybe at this time of year you [...]]]></description>
