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!

REPORT - SAINT JOHN'S EVE


Solemn Vespers were sung on Wednesday evening, presided over by Monsignor Antony Conlon, chaplain of the Grand Priory, assisted by our chaplains Father Creighton-Jobe of the London Oratory and Father David Irwin.  The choir was again Cantores Missae under the direction of Charles Finch, and Colin Mawby, former organist of Westminster Cathedral, was on the organ.  At the end of Vespers there was veneration of the Relic of Saint John the Baptist.



The evening ended with a buffet dinner in Fortescue House, attended by 30 members of the Order, Companions and friends.

We are grateful to a member of the Order for stepping in to take photographs at the very last minute on his iphone, the light in church is not ideal.

A report on the evening Mass of Saint John's Day will follow when the photographs are available.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
