Dear Brothers & Sisters, Today is the annual day of prayer for refugees & migrants: Theme this year: “God walks with his people.” Tomorrow is the feast of St.Jerome who translated the bible from Greek & Hebrew into Latin, then the common language so his work was known as the ‘vulgate’ and became a benchmark for bible translations. St.Theresa of the Child Jesus (Tuesday) a Carmelite Sister from Lisieux died of TB aged 24. Her fame came from the counsel she gave to missionaries from an enclosed convent & her diary The Little Way which today connects with people across different cultures. When her relics came to Britain in 2009, journalists were dumfounded that prisoners in Winson Green fervently queued up to venerate them. The Guardian Angels (Wednesday) are honoured as the spirits who watch over us & protect us from harm. St.Thomas de Cantelupe (Thursday) is one of 3 ‘St.Thomas’ Chancellors of England (cf. St.Thomas Becket & St.Thomas More). As Bp. of Hereford he had a reputation for holiness & service of the poor. The Cantelupe family owned Aston Cantlow village near Henley-in-Arden where St.John the Baptist church honours his memory St Francis of Assisi (Friday) dear to many, loved poverty, nature, animals, but above all loved Christ. Pope Francis (his namesake) holds him up today as saint for protection of the earth, our common home. The season of creation ends today. Sister Faustina Kowalska (Saturday) died of TB in 1938 aged only 33. But the devotion to Divine Mercy she inspired (because of revelations given) stir millions all over the world. She was canonised by Pope John Paul II in 2000 ******************* Mass intentions: we often have Fr. Dominic to concelebrate at 10.15 mass, so a second intention will be celebrated some days.
