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!

Dic nobis, Maria,  quid vidísti in via?
Sépulcrum Christi vivénti :
et glóriam vidi resurgéntis
Angélicos testes, sudárium, et véstes
Surréxit Christus spes mea :
 et præcédet vos in Galilæam.

Tell us Mary : say what thou didst see upon the way
The tomb the Living did enclose;
I saw Christ’s glory as he rose!
The angels there attesting;
Shroud with grave-clothes resting
Christ, my hope, has risen : 
he goes before you into Galilee.


The Grand Prior extends to you all his best wishes for all the blessing of the Risen Lord at this Easter time.
