It was in response to Our Holy Father, Pope Francis: Feast of Creation. Each of us had a booklet made especially for the occasion. The sisters next door at 78 were also invited. The booklet had readings from 'Laudato Si', Hymns, Litany of Repentance and Prayer of Petition. As we entered the chapel we were greeted by a wonderful Feast of Creation. 'All things bright and beautiful', arranged among colourful silky cloths, were rabbits, birds butterflies, fish, flowers of all colours, vegetables, fruit, and candles to represent the four seasons. The candles were lit at different parts of the service. Above all the bright and beautiful things of creation were the two very important quotations of Pope Francis, which were enlarged: 1. ‘Every year sees the disappearance of plant and animal species which we will never know, which our children will never see because they have been lost forever.’ 2. ‘Let us follow the example of Saint Francis of Assisi and take care of our common home.’ Sister Helena CP MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS Our Sisters: Vivian Whelan Rita McStay Nora Horan Maire Murphy Mary Sloan Regina Boland Kathleen Kinane Maura Fanning Rose Mulligan Relatives/friends of Sisters: Michael Clyne, Brigid Murphy’s brother-in- law; Marguerita’s

  • Herefordshire: Prayer, Saints & Blesseds
    HEREFORDSHIRE: PRAYER, SAINTS & BLESSEDS Prayer for Herefordshire Heavenly Father, in Christ your son you have shown your glory to the world. Guide the work of your church in Herefordshire. Helped by the prayers of Our Lady, and our martyrs and saints, may we proclaim your name, persevere in the faith, and bring salvation to those who do not know you. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs: Pray for us St Æthelbert and Saint Thomas of Hereford: Pray for us St John Kemble and Martyrs of Herefordshire: Pray for us. From the Yearbook for the Welsh Province. May 4: The English Martyrs In England, the 40 canonized martyrs previously celebrated on 25 October are now included with the 85 Beatified Martyrs in a single celebration of “The English Martyrs” on this date, chosen because it marks the first Reformation martyrdom (three Carthusians at Tyburn in 1535). In Wales, the two celebrations remain distinct. Two of the 85 beati have connections with Herefordshire: Roger Cadwallador (b. at Stretton Sugwas, near Hereford, in 1568; executed at Leominster, 27 August 1610) was an English Roman Catholic priest. Nicholas Wheeler, seminary priest from Herefordshire, executed at Tyburn 1586, aged 36. May 20: St Æthelbert, Martyr Æthelbert (d. 794) was King of the East Angles, at the time when England existed as seven kingdoms. Brought up in piety, he was a man of singular humility. Urged to marry, he declared his preference for a life of celibacy, but at length consented to woo Altrida (Alfrida), daughter of Offa, King of the Mercians.
