Dear Brothers & Sisters, St.Matthew (Monday) aka Levi, was a tax collector called by Jesus as an apostle. By tradition he’s also author of Matthew’s gospel giving us that huge body of Jesus’ teaching known as the Sermon on the Mount. His gospel also gives us many parables, as well as St.Joseph’s role in the nativity story. Padre Pio (Wednesday) the famous Capuchin Friar who also carried the stigmata is venerated all over the world & invoked for healing. He lived well into the television age (d.1968) so there are still films & documentaries that carry authentic original footage of his life. Our Lady of Walsingham (Thursday) is celebrated at her shrine in Norfolk our own national shrine of Our Lady. Saints Cosmas & Damian (Saturday) are unofficial patrons of our nhs. Famed as doctors in their native Syria they ruffled establishment feathers by providing services free of charge to the poor and were martyred around 300 AD in the time of Diocletian. **************************************************** A message from our bishops: Today is Home Mission Sunday, a day we celebrate our faith in these lands and a commitment to share the beauty & joy of knowing Jesus Christ. Pope Leo’s first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas” gives us a call to authentic humanity which finds it’s fullness in Christ. The retiring Collection today supports the work of the Bishops’ Conference Mission Directorate. Through Mission Directorate, we support a wide field of service & mission in England & Wales. Please hold this work in your prayers and give as generously as you can.
