Homily for the 8 o’clock Mass, 9 June 2024: 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1

The 1960s compilers of our current lectionary offer us a series of readings these Sundays from 2 Corinthians. There are 7 little snippets or extracts, given for the second reading at Mass, for Sundays 7 to 14. We missed the first 3 in the series because of Pentecost, then Trinity Sunday, then Corpus Christi. So we’re starting now today, on the 10th Sunday, with a little passage from the end of 2 Corinthians Chapter 4.

The Roof goes on, and Sleeping Joseph is completed

Work on our new ladies' Guest House, St. Joseph's, is progressing quite rapidly.

In one of our pictures given below you see 9 men working at once, not untypically, on the roof.

At the time of writing this news post, the roof's skeleton frame is covered by planks and a membrane, and the 5 North-facing Dormer Window frames are in place. The slaters are at work in a shed to the side, sorting out their slates, ready to start going on.
