Dear Brothers & Sisters, The Second Vatican Council opened this day in 1962, when this was the feast of Mary Mother of God. Now it is the feast of Pope John XXIII - displaced by Sunday. St.Wilfred (Monday) took the roman side at the 664 Synod of Whitby and was bishop of Lindisfarne & York. St.Edward the Confessor (Tuesday) was English King before Harold Godwinson. ‘Confessor’ because he openly professed Christian faith in a cynical world. He is portrayed in the Bayeux Tapestry, now on show in the British Museum. St.Callistus (Wednesday) martyred in 222, like many early popes defended the principle of mercy against early Christian rigorists who wanted to see a purer more exclusive kind of church. St.Teresa of Avila (Thursday), was a 16th century mystic, spiritual guide & reformer who had a huge influence on the church. St.Margaret Mary (Friday) a nun in Paray-le-Monial, East France was famed for visions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her Sacred Heart devotions stress the suffering Jesus & our duty to repair the harm our sins have done. Pope Francis added in 2024 that this must include repairing the damage men & woman have done to our world ...war...poverty.. the earth...the innocent etc..(Dilexit Nos on the 250th anniversary of St Margaret Mary) St.Ignatius of Antioch (Saturday) belongs to the second generation of the early Christians, and was martyred in Rome in 107 where he was brought for trial. *********************************************************
Prisoners Sunday is delayed 2 weeks as today we have an appeal for Holy Child Sisters. Then Oct 18th is Mission Sunday.
