The New Season

The French have a telling exclamation to describe September. It is — in English — one word: RETURN. It expresses the beginning of a new season as the memories of July and August begin to fade and we start back to realities. We begin with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, which ushers in the time up to October 4th, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi....

The Twenty-First Week in Ordinary Time The Apostle Peter receives a new title—the Rock—the one who holds things together. In every Eucharistic Prayer, we refer to our being in communion with Leo, our Pope, and soon, our Bishop. At his Ordination, the Papal Nuncio will show us all the document telling us that Father Stephen has been chosen to be Bishop of the Church of Arundel and Brighton, and the Chancellor will read it out for all of us....

The 20th Week in Ordinary Time

The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven In some European countries, 15 August is celebrated as a religious festival, and to the surprise of tourists, many outlets will be closed. This year, because it occurs on a Saturday, the holy day is transferred to Sunday. Its solemn proclamation as a dogma (a solemn teaching) happened in my lifetime, by Pope Pius XII in 1950, and was reflected in Vatican II: "When the course of her earthly life was over, she was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven" — words reflected in the Preface of the Mass....

The Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time

Calming the waters is something we have to do now and then. If we think of the many situations facing the world, we can appreciate how sometimes the problems rumble on or there is no resolution. The Gospel theme, accompanied by Elijah's encounter, is reassuring. Mass Schedule Monday, 10 August, 8.15am – St Lawrence, Martyr (St Mary's House)...

The Fifteenth Week of Ordinary Time

Sea Sunday Seeing pictures of ships trapped in the Straits of Hormuz has reminded us of the crews who have been unable to go ashore and have been in fear of violence. We have experienced a rise in the cost of fuel and increases in the cost of other goods. How easy it is to forget the human cost to the seafarers away from the relief of being in a port even for a short time....
