Dear Brothers & Sisters Today is Sea Sunday when we pray for merchant seamen who work long hours in harsh conditions away from home. Today’s exit collection supports chaplains who minister to seamen. St. Camilla de Lellis (Monday) was a soldier of fortune in 16th century Italy. When he received at Damascus-like conversion, he pledged to devote the rest of his life in service of the sick. He worked tirelessly to improve the treatment and care of hospital patients, and the order that bears his name has branches all over the world. Saint Bonaventure (Tuesday) a 13th cent Franciscan theologian became superior general of the Franciscans and then a cardinal. He is commemorated in our church at the Franciscan altar. Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Wednesday) is the patron of the Carmelite order, and also the patron of seafarers. Her title ‘Our Lady Star of the Sea’ is closely connected to Mount Carmel, as Mount Carmel overlooks the sea. The Carmelite Monastery there is called Stella Maris. Saint Kenelm (Thursday) was a teenage martyr of Saxon times who was murdered by a jealous uncle in the Clent Hills. Our diocesan youth mission is named after him: Kenelm Youth Trust. Blessed Robert Grissold (also Thursday) was only 29 when he was hanged in Warwick in 1604 for assisting a Catholic priest. He was born in the village of Rowington, not far from Baddesley Clinton. The Catholic parish at Balsall Common bears his name Next Sunday we have an appeal from Fr.Peter Umoru MSP, of the Missionary Society of St. Paul (MSP), who work in different parts of the world, to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
