Bishop Lopes: It is my great pleasure to share with you the news that our Holy Father Pope Francis, has bestowed an honor on one of our priests, Father Timothy P. Perkins, naming him a Chaplain of His Holiness with the title of Monsignor! Of coworkers in the vineyard of the Lord, Monsignor Perkins is the best. I have so often benefited from his wise counsel, his prayerful discernment, and most of all from his friendship. As Vicar General, he stands shoulder to shoulder with me in service to you and in support of our priests and parish communities. https://ordinariate.net/news/ordinariate-vicar-general-named-monsignor Congratulations Monsignor Perkins! Ad multos annos!

Spencer, THE HON. GEORGE (in religion, IGNATIUS OF ST. PAUL), Passionist, b. at the Admiralty, London, December 21, 1799; d. at Carstairs, Scotland, October 1, 1864. He was the youngest son of the second Earl Spencer and Lavinia, daughter of Sir Charles Bingham. From Eton he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, received Anglican orders, June 13, 1824, and became chaplain to Bishop Blomfield of Chester, and shortly afterwards rector of Brington, Northampton-shire. In 1830 he became a Catholic and went to Rome for his ecclesiastical studies, being ordained priest there, May 26, 1832. He returned to England fired with zeal for its conversion and labored incessantly to procure the prayers of Catholics on the Continent for that intention. From 1832 to 1839 he worked as priest at West Bromwich, building the church at his own cost; then he was professor at Oscott till 1846, when he entered the Passionist novitiate. He was professed at Aston Hall in January, 1848. He spent the rest of his life

Ant Rozetsky @rozetsky | Unsplash.com And (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. - Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke 9:23-24 Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self. - Saint Francis of Assisi So the divine love is sacrificial love. Love does not mean to have and to own and to possess. It means to be had and to be owned and to be possessed. It is not a circle circumscribed by self, it is arms outstretched to embrace all humanity within its grasp. - Venerable Fulton J. Sheen I encourage all of you to discover ever more fully in the Eucharist, the sacrament of Christ's sacrificial love, the inspiration and strength needed to work ever more generously for the spread of God's Kingdom and the growth of the civilization of love. -

Nolite interficere nuntius Many good folk have well-founded suspicions about public health policies that allow drunkards to freely associate in bars while docile church-goers are prohibited from attending services. Churches, it has been said repeatedly here and elsewhere, are better organized and more responsible than most other public institutions at encouraging responsible behaviour among their constituents. Seniors' care homes - for all the talk of concern by government health officials - have become death traps. How is the disease being transmitted between facilities and among residents? In any society that values free and responsible speech it is never unreasonable to draw attention to events which suggest a common cause. Individuals and groups that challenge the uncritical acceptance of policies that contradict reason are doing society a favor by exposing political and social non sequiturs. Unchecked, repeated attempts by governments to modify behaviour without providing su

The Comedy of Errors , Act 4, Scene 3 William Shakespeare ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE There’s not a man I meet but doth salute me As if I were their well-acquainted friend, And every one doth call me by my name. Some tender money to me; some invite me; Some other give me thanks for kindnesses; Some offer me commodities to buy. Even now a tailor called me in his shop And showed me silks that he had bought for me, And therewithal took measure of my body. Sure, these are but imaginary wiles, And lapland sorcerers inhabit here. If you’re not a leftist or socialist before you’re 25, you have no heart; if you are one after 25 you have no head! My journey toward right thinking began early enough but perhaps a little too late. I began to better own my responsibilities as a convert after I returned from graduate school in my late twenties and confronted many blessed events that pointed me in the right direction. Among the sure compasses I encountered was a then television host whose program was by

Motet (Just for fun, choose a part and sing along!) Emendemus in melius (Let us amend for the better) Matins response for the first Sunday in Lent by William Byrd for SATTB voices Cantiones sacrae, quae ab argumento sacrae vocantur (1575) Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;   ne subito praeoccupati die mortis,  quaeramus spatium poenitentiae,  et invenire non possimus. Attende, Domine, et miserere;  quia peccavimus tibi.  Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster,  et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos. Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death, we seek space for repentance, and be not able to find it. Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honour of thy name deliver us.

Pontefract Cakes | Candy Room Pontefract cakes (also known as Pomfret cakes and Pomfrey cakes) are a type of small, roughly circular black sweet measuring approximately 3/4" (2 cm) wide and 1/5" (4mm) thick, made of liquorice, originally manufactured in the Yorkshire town of Pontefract, England. The original name for these small tablets of liquorice is a "Pomfret" cake, after the old Norman name for Pontefract. - Wikipedia https://delishably.com/desserts/The-Story-of-Pontefract-Cakes Mum, being a proud Yorkshire woman, always presented liquorice at Christmas. Liquorice allsorts found their way into our stockings which, according to her Yorkshire upbringing, were hung at the foot of each child's bed, not at the fireplace. During all my youth, not once did I wake up while the stealthy Saint Nicholas filled my stocking. Though I repeatedly tried the liquorice, the taste of those bits and pieces remained disgusting - a bit like chewing on pencil erasers. As kids, we

ACS DWDO NA edition redo By the look of things, perhaps Newman House Press should pause the second printing of the DWDO (NA Edition). For us Ordinariateers in Canada, a nation which is still a constitutional monarchy (unless the Roundheads get their way) and a member of the Commonwealth, perhaps we would do well to recall that while the early bird gets the worm, it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.
