Once again Sunday night has arrived and I have returned home from Mass to take up a place at my desk to craft yet another message.

The following words were recited as part of the Alleluia verse on Sunday:
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our heart,
that we might see how great is the hope
to which we are called.
