    90308 Prayers to John Bradburne A6_Nre John Bradburne Leaflet 30/01/2014 12:25 Page 1 JOHN BRADBURNE John Bradburne Third Order Franciscan, mystic, poet and friend of lepers. Born in England in 1921, he served with the Gurkhas in Malaya and Burma Prayers during World War II. A Pauline-like conversion led him to become a pilgrim seeker, first with the Benedictines, then the Carthusians, but remained a layman to the end. His search for God’s will led him through England, Europe and the Holy Land, mostly on foot. In 1962 he went to “seek a cave” in Zimbabwe. Instead he found Mutemwa Leprosy Settlement. There he tended a flock of 80 leprosy patients with loving care, laying down his life for them on September 5th, 1979. At his funeral, a pool of blood was seen beneath his coffin. On opening it, there was no evidence where the blood had come from. However, an oversight was revealed: John had not been clothed in th e habit of St. Francis, as is the privilege of members of the Third Order, and had been John’s wish. The habit was found and John was clothed in it. Since his death there have been many signs of his sanctity: reports of miracles, claims of cures, as well as many answers to prayer. More important, many have turned to God through John’s extraordinary example. Strange Vagabond “God’s love within you is your native land. So search none other, never more depart. For you are homeless save God keeps your heart.” (JRB) For further information, donations, petitions and favours granted, contact: THE JOHN BRADBURNE MEMORIAL SOCIETY.

Over his three day visit, Pope Francis visited key religious sites and made numerous speeches stressing the need for a lasting peace in lands that have suffered many conflicts throughout Pope Francis history and where divisions still exist today. He said: “I wish to invite you, President Mahmoud Abbas, together with President Shimon Peres, to join me in heartfelt prayer to God for the gift of peace”. “I offer my home in the Vatican as a place for this encounter of prayer”. “All of us want peace. Many people build it day by day through small gestures and acts; many of them are suffering, yet patiently persevere in their efforts to be peacemakers. All of Urges Peace us – especially those placed at the service of their respective peoples – have the duty to become instruments and artisans of peace, especially by our prayers.

President Mahmoud Abbas and President Shimon Peres both accepted the Pope’s invitation and met in the Vatican earlier in June.

A PRAYER OF ST FRANCIS A prayer for Assisi - MERCY When Francis felt his death was approaching, he had himself carried on a litter to the church of St Mary of the Angels, wishing to die there where his new life had begun. On the way he asked the bearers to make a short halt and, having himself turned towards the town of Assisi, which on account of his blindness he could no longer descry, he uttered the following prayer: Lord, As in days gone by many evil-doers lived in this city, so now I see it has pleased your abundant mercy to show this city the fullness of your grace. May it become a dwelling and a home for all who acknowledge you and seek to glorify your name forever and ever; For all who give an example of virtuous life and witness of true doctrine to all Christendom. I therefore beg you, Lord Jesus Christ, Father of mercies, not to consider our ingratitude but ever to be mindful of your abundant mercy which you have displayed here. (Mirror of Perfection 124) 1 Dear brothers and sisters Recently, at the start of October, we had a wonderful day together at Erith, and something that struck me very much that day was the great value in meeting together as a region and what a wonderful group of people we have in our region.
