From the Catechism 89. How does the Church set forth the Mystery of the Incarnation? The Church confesses that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, with two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, not confused with each other but united in the Person of the Word. Therefore, in the humanity of Jesus all things - his miracles, his suffering, and his death - must be attributed to his divine Person which acts by means of his assumed human nature.

From the Catechism 88. What does the Council of Chalcedon (in the year 451) teach in this regard? The
Council of Chalcedon teaches us to confess "one and
the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, perfect in his
humanity, true God and true man, composed of rational
soul and body, consubstantial with the Father by his
divinity, and consubstantial with us by his humanity, 'like
us in all things but sin' (Hebrews 4:15),
begotten from the Father before all ages as to his
divinity, and in these last days, for us and for our
salvation, born of Mary, the Virgin and Mother of God, as
to his humanity." |

St Patrick Because the Feast

From the Catechism 87. In what way is Jesus Christ true God and true man? Jesus is inseparably true God and true man in the unity of his divine Person. As the Son of God, who is "begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father," he was made true man, our brother, without ceasing to be God, our Lord. |
Prayer for a New Bishop Heavenly Father, you sent Jesus to
shepherd your people and the Holy Spirit to make your
people one. Look with favour upon Pope Benedict XVI and
his advisors who will select our new bishop. Give them
your vision and let their judgement be clear. Speak your
will to them. We thank you for our shepherd, Bishop Ian
Murray, and the blessing he has been for the people of
this diocese. Lord, send your Holy Spirit to anoint our
new bishop that he may continue the work of renewal in
the Church and unite our parishes, priests and people in
love, truth and wisdom. Give him a true shepherd's heart
like that of Jesus, that he may give strength to the weak,
heal the broken-hearted, console the lonely, bring back
the wandering and be a power against the evil of our day.

Thanks Thank you to all those who generously supported the Roll and Sausage Breakfast last Sunday, and also the Family Ceilidh/Dance which was held on Friday. As yet we are unable to say how much was raised. However successful the fund-raising aspect of these events will be, the greatest success was the beauty of the gatherings. |

From the Catechism 86. What does the word "Incarnation" mean? The Church calls the mystery of the wonderful union of the divine and human natures in the one divine Person of the Word the "Incarnation". To bring about our salvation the Son of God was made "flesh" (John 1:14) and became truly man. Faith in the Incarnation is a distinctive sign of the Christian faith. |
Roll & Sausage Breakfast There will be a Roll and Sausage Breakfast after Mass in Portree this Sunday. This is an initial fund-raiser so that as a parish we can give some support to the Henderson Family from Raasay as they resettle in their new abode in Uig after the great disruption they suffered as a result of the recent gales. |
Ceilidh/Dance There will be a Licensed Family Ceilidh/Dance in the Skye Gathering Hall on Friday 22nd February at 8.00 pm. This is our major fund-raiser to support the Henderson Family. Well-known local artistes are lending us their support. Tickets will cost a "generous donation", and will be available early this week. All donations will be gratefully accepted. Publicity will be provided by word of mouth and widespread invitation |
There will be a quick meeting after Mass in Portree to make arrangements for the Ceilidh/Dance. There will be a more formal meeting after Stations of the Cross on Sunday evening |
