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!

FEAST OF SAINT PHILIP NERI


Please pray today for our late confrère and chaplain of the Priory, Mgr Antony Conlon, whose 41st anniversary of priestly ordination falls today.
Tu es sacerdos in æternum.

The photograph was taken two years ago on pilgrimage with friends at Shepherd's Field at Beit Sahur outside Bethlehem.
Tu es pastor bonus.

Dr Conlon, lately parish priest of Goring-on-Thames, died on Low Sunday this year.
Requiescat in pace. 

Please pray also for our many Oratorian friends and chaplains, as they celebrate the festival of their Founder and Patron.
Sancte Philippe Neri, ora pro nobis.
