John Sexton often has other commitments which he may not know about at the time Mass is booked. Your understanding in these matters is greatly appreciated. Community Notices. 1.

God loved the world so much that he gave us his Son, Jesus, entrusting Him to Mary. To prove his Father's love for the world, Jesus became so small, so helpless, that he had to have a mother to look after him. And at the foot of the cross, Mary became our mother too. Just before he died, Jesus gave his mother to StJohn and StJohn to his mother. And so, all of us became her children. Mother Teresa.
