Yesterday was the celebration of the Holy Family. The readings from the saints was an address by Pope Paul VI on the life of the Holy Family’s life at Nazareth. This can be found on last year’s post for this feast. This year, talking about the Holy Family with Neil, I thought about the life […]

Morning prayer today included that devastating reading from Jeremiah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: it is Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more. The reading from the saints, taken from writings of […]
This morning, still full of the joy of our celebrations, I was struck by the reading from the saints in the office of readings.

Please continue to pray for Neil Taylor as he prepares to be ordained deacon on Saturday at Warwick Street.
Mass on Corpus Christi included the Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity. “...So help me God, and God’s Holy Gospels on which I place my hand.”
