St John Paul II

Today we celebrate the memorial of St John Paul II

We honour him today and give thanks: it’s his encyclical, the Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae) that we’re named after, and he and Cardinal Winning are the inspiring figures behind our vision and way of life.

“every gesture of his, every word, every choice he made always had a much deeper value and left a mark,” Pope FrancisS

St John Paul II, pray for us.

Our Lady of Sorrows

Today we celebrate Our Lady of Sorrows

The suffering of rightly Jesus is front and centre in our faith however it is always worth also paying attention to the suffering of Our Lady.

At Jesus’ crucifixion and death Mary did the only thing she could to help: She was there. She shared in her sons sorrow and pain. In the same way Our Lady shares in our sorrow and is there for us. She is there as a mother to scoop us up and offer us comfort in our grief. By honouring Our Lady of Sorrows we to share in hers.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

The Birthday of Our Lady

Today we celebrate the birthday of Our Lady.

May today we feel the joy of the birth of Mary, our mother. May we take the time to celebrate Our Lady and all she had done to intercede for us. May we always remember we can run to her in our time of need and she will guide us by the hand to her beloved son.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us

St Augustine

Today we celebrate the feast of St Augustine

St Augustine didn’t start his life in a saintly way however he experienced such a powerful conversion that not only did he turn his life around but he was so in love with God he was on fire love for him. Check out these quote of his below

“Come, O Lord, and stir our hearts. Call us back to yourself. Kindle your fire in us and carry us away. Let us scent your fragrance and taste your sweetness. Let us love you and hasten to your side” (VIII, 4).

“The message of your Holy Scriptures has set my heart throbbing, O Lord, and with the merger powers that are mine in this life I struggle hard to understand it” (XII, 1).

“You called me; you cried aloud to me; you broke my barrier of deafness…. I tasted you, and now I hunger and thirst for you. You touched me, and I am inflamed with love of your peace” (X, 27).

“O Love ever burning, never quenched! O Charity, my God, set me on fire with your love!” (X, 29).

St Maximilian Kolbe

Today we celebrate the feast of Maximilian Kolbe.

“Despite, the loss of his father, his own poor health, the forces of religious apathy around him, and the Nazi regime, Kolbe spent his life focussed on serving others out of love for Jesus Christ and Mary, his mother. A theologian, a great communicator, a generous labourer, a prisoner, Kolbe died at Auschwitz as he had always lived, serving others and giving all that he had for love of God and neighbour.”

From a reflection on St Maximilian Kolbe by Matthew Harrison

St Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us
