Amen, amen, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself
and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt
stretch forth thy hands, and another another shall gird thee and lead thee
whither thou wouldst not. And this he said, signifying by what death he
should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me
and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt
stretch forth thy hands, and another another shall gird thee and lead thee
whither thou wouldst not. And this he said, signifying by what death he
should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me
So this may not strictly be a Christmas themed game but we liked it anyway! Why not try "Saint or Ain't" and see if you can pick out the 25 genuine saints from the list below. Be careful as you only get 25 guesses so can't afford to make any mistakes. Good luck!

All the glory of the king's daughter is within golden borders,
Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be
brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
Today is the feast of the Holy Family and this presents us with the opportunity to recognise that our family stretches far beyond those who we share our home with. As Catholics we belong to a huge family consisting of all of the other Catholics around the world and it's important that we don't lose sight of that. We won't always get on with everybody in life but through sharing our faith with others we will be able to forge friendships with even the most unexpected people.
On Christmas Eve I was given a bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates from a lovely elderly gentleman called Tommy who I speak to each week before mass. He never fails to make me laugh with his weekly joke he has in store for me and although we talk for only a couple of minutes it is something that obviously has an impact on him and myself too for that matter. When he gave me the flowers he said thanks for making him smile each week yet I am sure that I'm the one who walks away smiling after another punchline delivered with plenty of laughter.
I don't need thanks from Tommy, yet his words of gratitude let me see just how valuable that little bit of conversation can be. He could even forget the punchline of his jokes (and he sometimes he does!) but what is important is simply two people taking a little bit of time out to talk to each, what's so hard about that eh? Should our churches be filled with quietness or buzzing with happiness and gentle laughter? I know which I would prefer and I reckon my pal Tommy would agree with me too!

But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the
thoughts of his heart to all generations. To deliver
their souls from death: and feed them in famine.
Today is the feast of the Holy Innocents which looks at how King Herod ordered all boys under the age of 2 to be killed. He knew that a new King had been born in Jesus and felt threatened by that so his response was to order all of the boys in his Kingdom to be killed. Mary and Joseph had already fled Bethlehem as Joseph had been visited by an angel in his dreams and told to keep Jesus safe.
During our 12 Days of Christmas reflection last year we prayed for the families in Newtown, Connecticut where 20 children and 6 adults were killed during a a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It seems fitting today to think about those families again, a year on from that tragedy, in the hope that this Christmas they can find peace in their hearts amongst the sadness they will feel at the loss of their children.

The reason why sometimes you have asked and not received,
is because you have asked amiss, either inconsistently,
or lightly, or because you have asked for what was not
good for you, or because you have ceased asking.
Following on from our blog yesterday looking at the origins of the Nativity heading back 790 years to the days of St Francis of Assisi we're offering something a little bit more light hearted today. Take a look at some of the worst Nativity sets the Internet has to offer. Enjoy!
1. One of the Poolies, we do love a good monkey story here in Hartlepool...
2. How about a dog inspired theme? Not too sure about Mary the Dalmatian...
3. Keeping with the animal theme for a little while... oink oink!
4. Everyone would love to recreate the Nativity in the bath... right?
5. Why not do Christmas on a budget with this peg doll Nativity set?
6. Let's go minimalist... Mary is looking a little on the short side mind you!
7. This one is just wrong! A zombie Nativity?
8. Nativity cupcakes anyone?
9. Who said you shouldn't play with your food?
10. Last but not least, everyone wanted to get their name on one of these right? Here it is, the Coca-Cola Nativity...

God is more anxious to bestow His blessings on us than we are to
receive them. For it is not God's way that great blessings should
descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings - St Augustine
What many people don't know, however, is that St Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the very first Nativity Scene. In 1223 he was visiting the town of Grecio to celebrate Christmas but the chapel here was too small so he set up an altar in the town. He made a manger with an Ox and Ass beside to help re-enact the Nativity for the people of Grecio and told them all about Jesus birth. This was the very first 'live' Nativity 790 years ago, something that has now become common place in schools and churches around the world.
When you look at the Nativity scene you have at home or you see in church spend a little bit of time thinking about how each of the people involved in the very first Nativity, the birth of Jesus, actually felt. What did Mary think after her special child was born? What role did Joseph feel he would play in bringing up the baby boy? What about the shepherds and the wise men, two vastly different groups in society but each so important in the birth of Jesus.
A couple of weeks ago some of our young people were involved in a Nativity Flashmob in Newcastle Central Station, Durham City and Hartlepool Town Centre. What better way to start our 12 Days of Christmas reflection than by enjoying a video showing footage of the Nativity in Central Station.

This afternoon we have been talking about the pressures that distract us in life, the things from our past that hold us back and the things in our future that worry us. We have been looking at how we need to live in the present moment and take the opportunities that are offered to us to give us peace in among all those things that stress us out. It's been really good and we are just about to have a huge discussion on really heavy issues that affect us in the culture we live in today.

Here we are at the Youth Village with 35 fantastic students on retreat at the Youth Village. This time away is so beneficial for the students that choose to come. They've spent a morning getting to know each other better and if I told you they've been screaming like goats you wouldn't believe me right?
The theme of the retreat is 'Tapestry' and will be looking into how God weaves and becomes present to us in our lives...watch this space! Oh, did you see Eleanor Bowman? She not actually 'on retreat' but she is leading it with YMT! lovely to see you Eleanor!

Here we are on our final day. Last night was amazing! We prayed that we would really know the love of God and to be assured that he will never ever leave us on our own. Kat from YMT led us in prayer this morning which followed in from last night, sharing the story of John McMillan with us. Google him and his amazing song! We only have 3 hours left and already we don't want to come home. It has been such an amazing retreat. Some of us have even found God...like really!

Philip has just led a session on who Jesus is and we are really starting to go deeper in to looking at the love of God and just how much he loves us. This is perfect preparation for our Mass which we will be celebrating later this evening as it is Palm Sunday. It seems the perfect beginning of Holy Week for our young people here.

This morning we have sang our hearts out in preparation for our Mass later on today. We are all belting out our Hosannas!
Cody is leading us all in these new songs and obviously our favourite, Our God is Greater! Watch this space for more updates throughout the day.

Here we are at the Youth Village with YMT. We have 30 students on retreat and the theme for the weekend is "Landslides." This is taken from a quote from Lord Alton, that when small stones move, landslides happen. This will challenge us to try and make a difference in the world and the way in which we perceive things and act upon injustices.
The students have only been here an hour and already have been singing their hearts out and joining in with everything. The weather is snowy, cold but it will not dampen our spirits. Miss Fox got lost and ended up going down some farm track but she got here eventually!

St. Cuthbert's Primary School have been building a Lenten Garden in church
over the last 6 weeks. It's not really a garden with plants, though.
Instead, it's full of symbols that help us to think about the gospels of
each Sunday during the Season.
Just in case you've forgotten, here's a reminder:
1st Sunday - Jesus is tempted in the desert (Luke 4:1-13)
2nd Sunday - The Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36)
3rd Sunday - The parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13:1-9)
4th Sunday - The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1-32)
5th Sunday - The woman caught committing adultery (John 8:1-11)
6th Sunday - The triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Luke 19:28-40)
So next time you're in St. Cuthbert's have a look at the garden and see if you can work out why the children chose the symbols they put in there. Answers on a postcard, please!

Last night Fr. Adrian came to listen to some of our young people as they got
to grips with the future of the church in Hartlepool. This is an important
question at a time when we are losing money, priests and possibly churches
so it's important that young people make their voices heard as it will be
you who will deal with the consequences of any decisions that are made. To
get involved, have a look at the ideas below and send us your comments.

The children at Friday Night Fun (our youth group at St. Teresa's and St.
Patrick's) took a slightly different approach to Stations of the Cross last
week, making their own with the help of lots of glue! It helped us all to
reflect on Jesus' suffering and death and how that opened the way for us to
be free of suffering, pain and sadness.

Last night five of our Hartlepool Youth Ministry people received an award
for obtaining a Level 2 in Youth Work Practice. This is a nationally
recognised youth work qualification helping us to improve the quality of
what we do. Pictured from the left are Colin, Natalie, Marie and Jeremy.
Unfortunately, Tracey, who should have been there, was looking after a sick
child. Well done everyone!

A group of English Martyrs students visited the St. John Vianney Lunch Club
today for the second time to help out serving the food and generally making
sure everyone was happy. This is part of our school-parish link programme
aimed at getting young people more involved in their parishes. Described as
the 'bonus attraction' in this month's Northern Cross the students once
again made a good impression of themselves and hope to be back soon. And
Josephine even managed to win the bingo!

Blimey that wind was cold but it didn't stop us enjoying a little stroll
through the North York Moors, between Ampleforth and Rievaulx Abbeys, to
raise some much-needed funds for Hartlepool Youth Ministry. We all arrived
safely, if a little frozen, just before the snow really set in. Deo gratias
and also to Jane, Alistair and Kev without whom we could not have done this!
