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!

HELP FOR OUR BENEDICTINE FRIENDS

We have been asked to support the appeal by the Benedictine monks of the Monastère Saint-Benoît in La Garde-Freinet in the South of France, of whom our dear friend and erstwhile liturgical collaborator Dom Alcuin Reid is Prior; the buildings they are seeking to buy were once a Commandery of our own Order. This we are overjoyed to do, and firmly encourage all members of the Order and Companions to help in whatever way they can, small, or large. See the appeal notice below.  For GiftAid information, please email HERE.  To make a simple donation, click HERE. To donate with JustGiving, click HERE.  

One of their young English monks is receiving his first minor Orders this month, on 21st December, Dom Ildephonse Swithinbank - please pray for him.

Please pray also for our friend Monseigneur Dominique Rey, bishop of Fréjus-Toulon, who will ordain Dom Ildephonse, and for all the vocations he encourages.

Please visit the Monastery's website HERE.  They are also very happy to receive you, with customary Benedictine hospitality, should you wish to visit in person.

Above all, please pray for this young community. Make it yours.
