As Cardinal Mercier said : "When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere."                                                                                  From Cardinal Sarah : "In order to avoid hearing God's music, we have chosen to use all the devices of this world. But heaven's instruments will not stop playing just because some people are deaf."                                                                                              Saint John-Paul II wrote: "The fact that one can die for the faith shows that other demands of the faith can also be met."                                                 Cardinal Müller says, “For the real danger to today’s humanity is the greenhouse gases of sin and the global warming of unbelief and the decay of morality when no one knows and teaches the difference between good and evil.”                                                  St Catherine of Siena said, “We've had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues - I see the world is rotten because of silence.”                                                  Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”                                                Brethren, Wake up!

THURSDAY 18th MARCH - LENTEN EVENING OF RECOLLECTION

As has become customary in recent years, there will be a Mid-Lenten Evening of Recollection in the Conventual Church on Thursday 18th March 2010.

The Evening will be led by the Reverend Father Dominic Robinson SJ, from Farm Street.

It will begin with a sung Mass (New Rite) at 6.30pm, followed by a Holy Hour, which will include a short spiritual conference, concluding with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at around 8.15pm.

UPDATE: Please note, as this is the eve of the Feast of St Joseph, and no Mass is celebrated in the Church on the Friday, the Mass this evening will be an anticipated Mass of St Joseph.

There will be opportunity for confession during the evening.

All are very welcome to attend, and it is much recommended to make use of this opportunity to reinvigorate our Lenten discipline, as Lent is now half-way through!

Remember O man that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
