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!

PRAYERS FOR POLAND


AN INTERNATIONAL ASPECT TO SUNDAY MASS AT THE CONVENTUAL CHURCH
It is a well-known fact that ours is an international Order with 46 National Associations, 5 Grand Priories and 6 Sub Priories across the world.

This was brought home to us in a special way at the Sunday Mass yesterday when we were joined by two Polish confreres who sat in choir.  They had come to the Conventual Church as members of the Order to pray for the souls of those of their countrymen including their country’s President who had been killed the day before in the Katin air crash.  Not only that, they said, but also to support their British confreres in their Conventual Church and to pray for the patients in the Hospital and Hospice.  

We were delighted to have them with us even in such sad circumstances and their witness to Tuitio Fidei was inspirational.  We especially remember the people of Poland at this time and those whose lives were lost and assure them of our prayers.  

Requiescant in pace.
Our Lady of Częstochowa, pray for them.
Our Lady of Philermo, pray for them.
