Dear Brothers & Sisters Birthday of Our Lady (Monday) a very ancient feast, is tradition’s to say that from her beginning Mary was holy, full of grace, destined for a special purpose. St.Peter Claver (Tuesday) an early Jesuit studied in Mallorca, where door keeper St.Alfonso Rodriguez advised him to go to the New World. So he was apostle of Columbia, defending slaves arriving on ships from Africa. Clerics & politicians opposed this work, but today his feast is a national holiday in Colombia. St Osburg (Tuesday) was an 11th century abbess of a Coventry monastery founded by king Cnut. The Catholic Church on the Coventry ring road bears her name. St.Ambrose Barlow (Wednesday) was a Lancashire man who became a catholic in the turbulent 17th cent. He joined the Benedictines in France & came to the English mission. Serving 24 yrs he was arrested in 1641 & executed at Lancaster. His feast is kept in Salford & Hall Green. The Holy Name of Mary (Friday) an optional memorial, kept for 400 years echoes the Holy Name of Jesus. St John Chrysostom (Saturday) the combative 4th century Bishop of Constantinople, won fame as a preacher. ‘Chrysostom’ means ‘golden mouth’. Exaltation of the Cross next Sunday is a ‘Good Friday feast in happy times’. We honour Jesus' victory over sin & death. Next Sunday is also Education Sunday. Blessed with requested Mass intentions at The Friary, we sometimes have to ‘pair’ intentions (due to numbers) on weekdays & occasionally Sundays too.
