Gospel
Luke 23:35-43
'Today you will be with me in paradise'
The people stayed there before the cross watching Jesus. As for the leaders, they jeered at him. ‘He saved others,’ they said ‘let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.’ The soldiers mocked him too, and when they approached to offer vinegar they said, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’ Above him there was an inscription: ‘This is the King of the Jews.’
One of the criminals hanging there abused him. ‘Are you not the Christ?’ he said. ‘Save yourself and us as well.’ But the other spoke up and rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God at all?’ he said. ‘You got the same sentence as he did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong. Jesus,’ he said ‘remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ ‘Indeed, I promise you,’ he replied ‘today you will be with me in paradise.’
Notes of Meeting on 15 November 2022
John 12 v 44-50
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
We are to Trust in Jesus and His Mercy and forgiveness as we move along the way.

An Update from the CDSC November 2022
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
We look back on our first Vicariate event, “You are my beloved child” on 22 October 2022, with great appreciation for all those in the Cleveland and South Durham Vicariate for helping to make this such a special opportunity to come closer to our Blessed Lord and be more open to His Holy Spirit. Drawing on our experience of working in partnership with the Bethany Prayer Group, we look forward to working with new partners as we plan our next event in the Northumberland Vicariate. If you are in the Northumberland Vicariate, involved with Charismatic Renewal, and would like to contribute to the planning please let us know on charis@diocesehn.org.uk. Please pray for the success of this next event.
A new bespoke training programme for those involved in ministries of healing.
The Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle is offering a new bespoke training course for those called to accompany people seeking healing. The revised format of the programme focuses on a Catholic, holistic understanding of what it means to be healed exploring the role of the Sacraments, the prayer life of the Church and the power of the Holy Spirit. It gives a grounding in Scripture alongside practical and spiritual training in the art of accompanying and praying with others. It offers good practice guidelines concerning safeguarding and boundaries and helps individuals discern whether this is what God asks of them. More details are available here. Save the date Following this year’s experience of hosting a Mass for Pentecost at St Mary’s Cathedral, Newcastle, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a Pentecostal Mass next year at the Cathedral again on Saturday 13th May 2023 at 1:00 pm. More details nearer the time. CDSC Newsletter We are gathering content again for our next newsletter. Please let us know about any opportunities for people to be more open to the Holy Spirit that you would like us to include under “News from the Diocese”.
Congratulations! Congratulations to Pat Kennedy who has been active in promoting Charismatic Renewal for many years, for being awarded a Papal Medal for her services to the Diocese. The medal will be presented at St Mary’s Cathedral at 10:00 am on Saturday 17th December 2022.
CDSC Team Conference I and Frank O’Neill will shortly have the privilege of attending a CDSC Team Conference gathering on 19th and 20th November in Northampton. Bishop David Oakley and the CHARIS Coordinating Team for England & Wales will be sharing an update and discussing with Coordinators from across England & Wales how we are to take the mission of CHARIS to the next level in each Diocese. Please pray for the success of this gathering.
Finally, please pray for the soul of Betty McGurk. Betty was active in promoting Charismatic Renewal from the early days. We take great comfort in knowing that Betty will be praying for us and cheering us on.
God bless,
John
