Fr Paul Gooley reads from the Gospel of Matthew (11: 28-30) in which Jesus says, ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and burden is light.” Afterwards, Fr Paul shares a little about the life of St Lucy whose memorial we celebrated today. Fr Paul shares that Lucy was martyred in Syracuse, probably during the persecution of Diocletian which started in 303. Devotion to her spread rapidly across practically the whole Church and her name is included in the Roman Canon – that is the 1st Eucharistic Prayer in our Mass. So today, Fr Paul invites us to ask, ‘St Lucy…Pray for us!’
