O God, who raised up the holy Bishop
and Martyr Saint Boniface
from the English nation
to enlighten many peoples with the Gospel of Christ,
grant, we pray,
that we may firmly hold and confidently profess in action
the faith he taught with his lips and sealed with his blood.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who have made the blood of Martyrs
the seed of Christians,
mercifully grant that the field which is your Church,
watered by the blood
shed by Saint Charles Lwanga and his companions,
may be fertile and always yield you an abundant harvest.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Happy solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity!

"We acknowledge the Trinity, holy and perfect, to consist of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In this Trinity there is no intrusion of any alien element or of anything from outside, nor is the Trinity a blend of creative and created being. It is a wholly creative and energising reality, self-consistent and undivided in its active power, for the Father makes all things through the Word and in the Holy Spirit, and in this way the unity of the holy Trinity is preserved. Accordingly, in the Church, one God is preached, one God who is above all things and through all things and in all things. God is above all things as Father, for he is principle and source; he is through all things through the Word; and he is in all things in the Holy Spirit." - St Athanasius

Happy Feast!

Today we celebrate the feast of St Augustine of Canterbury, Apostle to the English, pictured in opus sectile on the reredos of the Chapel of Ss Gregory and Augustine.

Here, he is depicted as a Benedictine monk with the icon of Christ, the Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World), which he carried with him on his Mission to the Angles.

St Augustine of Canterbury, pray for us.
