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 - VISIT OF BISHOP HOPES

Last Thursday we were delighted to welcome Bishop Alan Hopes, who came as a Conventual Chaplain of the Order to celebrate the Thursday evening Mass on the feast of Saint Blaise, which in Westminster is celebrated as the feast of Saints Laurence, Dunstan and Theodore, Archbishops of Canterbury.  Mass was celebrated in Latin with plainchant in the Ordinary Form.

The Bishop gave the customary Blessing of Throats of Saint Blaise's Day after the Mass.

To our regret there was no photographer on hand to take pictures.

Following Mass there was a reception in Fortescue House, and a dinner for the Bishop and regulars of the Conventual Church in the Chancellery.
Through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver thee from all ailments of the throat and every other evil. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
