St. Edward’s Autumn Fayre

St Edward’s, Aylestone, will be holding its Autumn Fayre on Saturday 19 September from 12 noon until 3pm.

There will be craft stalls, books, tombola, cakes, raffles and refreshments, with something for all the family. It will be a lovely opportunity to come together, support St Edward’s and enjoy a friendly afternoon with parishioners, families and friends.

Everyone is very warmly welcome.

The soul outweighs the world, Homily, 29th August

“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”

We have heard the sentence so often that we have perhaps ceased to notice its extravagance.

Christ places the entire world on one side of the scale.

Every empire. Every pleasure. Every fortune. Every human honour.

Everything that people have killed to possess.

And on the other side: one immortal soul. The soul outweighs the world.
