WELCOME TO THE PARISH OF WINDSOR

I hope that this website might extend a welcome and assurance that here is a place that you will be given a dignity and a hospitality. Perhaps you are looking for a time of Mass or the possibility of booking a baptism or a wedding. You may be new to the area and thinking of joining this community of faith. Whatever the reason I hope and pray that your needs are met and that we will be able to help you in your search.

Canon David Hopgood

Thought for the Week

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time – 13 October 2024

The new Parish of Ascot and Windsor

I always remember, when I was a child, a picture we had at home on the wall of Jesus. He was looking straight out at you and, as you moved around the room, wherever you stood, his eyes still seemed to be looking at you, almost following you around. In today’s Gospel, we hear of the man who runs up to Jesus and asks him a very important question: “Good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” After hearing and responding positively to our Lord’s presentation of the fundamental commandments we are told that, “Jesus looked steadily at him and loved him…”

We do not know much else about the man except that after Jesus saw into his heart and he is told that he should let go of worldly riches and give to the poor, his face fell – he stopped looking back at Jesus and sadly went away.
In the same way that Jesus looked at him and saw deeply into his heart, so he does with us when we turn to him… and he loves us. In our daily lives, one of our great challenges is to keep our eyes on the Lord in everything that we do. His eyes are eyes of love and are always on us. Let us always respond to his love and help bring his love to others by the way we live our lives.

Fr Phillip Harris
