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 - CONCERT 'O MICHAEL'

The series of Saint John's Concerts 2010/11 got off to a glorious start with the first concert last Wednesday, Hexachord's 'O Michael'.

The choir sang the most sublime renditions of music dedicated to Saint Michael of his feast day, and truly showed us, against all gainsayers, why we should be justly pound of our European Christian heritage. Here indeed is the summit of divinely inspired music.

We are profoundly grateful to the singers for this wonderful concert.  Despite the heavy rain which chose to fall throughout the afternoon and evening, the concert was reasonably well attended, and some £300 raised for Saint John's Hospice.  Many thanks to everyone.

You are all warmly encouraged to come to the next concert, Musica Contexta singing Marian music, 'Inviolata', which takes place on Wednesday 27th October at 7.30.
