WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush, and tyranny tremble at patience.

Mothering Sunday 2018

-
From the hands of Shauna, one of our parishioners, the Simnel Cake for Mothering Sunday, blessed at the beginning of Mass and consumed after Mass.


Fr. Carl, who blessed and distributed daffodils, gave a homily celebrating the lovely patrimonial custom of blessing the cake and flowers on this particular Sunday.

P.S.—For one who does not normally enjoy marzipan, the marzipan decorations were amazingly delicious! Indeed, the entire cake was outstanding!

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

SAINT FRANCIS DE SALES

Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, a worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.

SAINT AUGUSTINE of HIPPO

The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
