I was away again this week and Mass was actually at 6pm on Saturday evening due to the Olympic Cycle races which closed all the surrounding roads. When I am away I go through the list of choices with those who will be singing and in some cases where something maybe less well know offer some alternatives - this is in part to give them some flexibility on the day.

This week we begin the reading of John 6 which is inserted into Mark's Gospel or Year B. The place it is inserted follows on from the preceding week of Mark and at the end Mark follows on - this is to say that this is less a tangent than an interlude. With the focus on the 'bread of life' it makes planning quite difficult, I think. If ever there is a time when you can use something one week and discover that it would be better next - this is it.
