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!

BLESSED DAVID GUNSON PILGRIMAGE

Our first post-lockdown event will be the Blessed David Gunson Pilgrimage. The pilgrimage this year will take a slightly different form, following the coronavirus shutdown and the fact that the feast falls on a Sunday. The celebrations will fall into three separate sections. 

(i)      Pilgrim Walk: the walk along the Martyr route will begin at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, 12th July. Please gather at 4pm sharp outside the (Anglican) church of St George the Martyr Borough High Street, SE1 1JA.  We shall walk as normally quietly saying the Rosary along the Old Kent Road to St Thomas Waterings for brief prayers, following which Anthony Delarue will provide drinks in the garden in Southwark to those who wish to come.

(ii)      Holy Mass of Blessed David Gunson: will be celebrated at 6pm on Monday 13th July at, 6pm, at Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick Street by Fr Mark Elliott-Smith. Members wishing to robe, please do so at the rear of the church and sit down once robed. You should not enter the sacristy or the rest of the building.

(iii)    Homily: preached by our chaplain Fr Stephen Morrison, OPraem, is posted  HERE. (This is wonderful, do not miss!)

If you feel able, please take this opportunity to return to the liturgical life of our Order by attending all or part of these celebrations. Appropriate social-distancing measures will be in place for each element. 

Please email mc(AT)gpesmom.org, if you intend to come to any of the above.  

Blessed David Gunson, pray for us.
