Thought for the week:

Jesus asked the twelve disciples, ‘And you – would you also like to leave? Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. And now we know and believe that you are the Holy One who has come from God.”’    St John 6: 67-69. G.N.B.

In a day when people seem to be turning away from faith in Jesus and facing us with questions about our own faith and commitment Peter’s question is also ours, ‘Lord, to whom would we go?’
