“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!”
-Pope Francis

Gaude, Virgo gloriósa,
super omnes speciósa;
vale, o valde decóra,
et pro nobis Christum exóra.
Hail, Queen of heaven, beyond compare,
To whom the angels homage pay;
Hail, Root of Jesse, Gate of Light,
That opened for the world’s new Day.
And so the Derby Diocese Chapter of the @Society of Catholic Priests is formed
And I pray for his canonisation…
Gaude, Virgo gloriósa,
super omnes speciósa;
vale, o valde decóra,

In the mórning let me knów your lóve *
for I pút my trúst in yóu.
Make me knów the wáy I should wálk: *
to yóu I líft up my sóul.
Hail, Queen of heaven, beyond compare,
To whom the angels homage pay;
Hail, Root of Jesse, Gate of Light,
That opened for the world’s new Day.
Rejoice, O Virgin unsurpassed,
In whom our ransom was begun,
For all your loving children pray
To Christ, our Saviour and your Son.
Ave, Regína cælórum,
ave, Dómina angelórum,
salve, radix, salve, porta,
ex qua mundo lux est orta.
Gaude, Virgo gloriósa,
super omnes speciósa;
vale, o valde decóra,
et pro nobis Christum exóra.
I felt sad putting away the Cribsets today … December feels a long way away
We adore you most Holy Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all your Churches throughout the Earth, and we bless you because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world ….
St Francis of Assisi
In him was life and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it.
John 1.4,5
Mother of Christ! Hear thou thy people’s cry,
Star of the deep, and portal of the sky!
Mother of him who thee from nothing made,
Sinking we strive, and call to thee for aid:
Oh, by that joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.
Oh well done #ClergyMaltClub
Perhaps we will have #ClergyMaltClub folks from across the world this year! Perhaps some folks from #TEC might care to join in? It’s only the one night a year, and the whisky part is optional. It’s the kinship and understanding from other clergy that really matters.
Now all the #Vicars have quit Twitter/X is #ClergyMaltClub a thing on here ?? #CofEpeeps
For they were pierced for our transgressions ??
Lord Jesus Christ, meek and humble of heart, you offer to those who follow you a yoke that is good to bear,a burden that is light.
Accept, we beg you, our prayer and work of this day, and grant us the rest we need that we may be ever more willing to serve you,who live and reign for ever and ever
In the mórning let me knów your lóve *
for I pút my trúst in yóu.
Make me knów the wáy I should wálk: *
to yóu I líft up my sóul.
O’ wisdom from above
Let me hear of your loving-kindness in the morning,
for in you I put my trust; ♦
show me the way I should walk in,
for I lift up my soul to you.
For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him.
"You will save the world by making your suffering a protest of salvation...You will save the world if you die in your poverty while yearning for better times, making your whole life a prayer." #SaintOscarRomero
Lord our God,
restore us again by the repose of sleep
after the fatigue of our daily work,
so that, continually renewed by your help,
we may serve you in body and soul.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
“54% of Britons who voted leave, including 59% of voters in “red wall seats”, said in exchange for single market access they would now accept full free movement for EU and UK citizens to travel, live and work across borders.”
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints
