O good St Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and wonder worker of our day, confidently I call upon you and seek your aid. On Earth you always fulfilled God's designs, help me now to do the holy will of God. Implore the Master of Life, from whom all paternity proceeds, to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life, and in the world to come heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory. Amen. Please visit our website saintgerards.org.uk/ for all of our current events.

Saint Peter Clever, 9th September - (1580–1654) was a Jesuit missionary who served in Cartagena, Colombia, where he dedicated his life to enslaved Africans, calling himself "the slave of the slaves forever." For over 30 years, he cared for their spiritual and physical needs, defended them from abuse, and organised catechists to teach the faith in their own languages. Despite opposition and suffering, he remained faithful to his mission of compassion and justice.

THE 23rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - YEAR A - No man is an island...” How true this is for those who follow Christ: each of us has responsibilities towards each other, based on our ‘debt of mutual love’. When we see wickedness and wrongdoing, then because of our privileged position of following the Lord Jesus, we have a duty to speak out. This will not always be easy - remember the prophet Jeremiah last week - but this was the mission of the Lord Jesus himself, and as his followers, it is our mission too. As with everything, love is ‘the answer to every one of the commandments.’

The Passion of St John the Baptist 29th August - The Passion of St. John the Baptist honours the greatest of the prophets, who prepared the way for Christ. From before his birth, John's mission was to proclaim the coming of the Messiah and then humbly step aside, declaring that Christ must increase while he must decrease. His courage, humility, and faithfulness, even unto martyrdom, make him a model of selfless discipleship.
