Thank you for your response - and yes, may God continue to bless this blessed and broken world...

Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart... (Luke 18:1) Yesterday's Gospel reminded us of the ...

That's lovely, and definitely beats my first Communion dress and veil (I was the 3rd of 4 cousins to wear them, over about a decade)

I'd have just said 'libation', which is a more dignified word, among other things!

Happy feast of #MaterAdmirabilis to you all! Today is a day for all shaded of pink! And also for recollection. What can Mary teach us today about prayer, perseverance and never losing heart...?

‪ #NunsOfBlueSky & #BruvsOfBlueSky #SimplyJubilee, to celebrate the #jubilee of #ConsecratedLife
As part of the Jubilee Year, a Jubilee of Consecrated Life will be held in Rome on 8-9th Oct From 8th-12th Oct I'll be reflecting on some of the biblical concepts of Jubilee.

A rainbow over the sea that is also reflected in the damp sand of the beach. The text reads, as individual words: “it’s a jubilee”… “Freedom” “Thanksgiving” “Justice” “Forgiveness”

Pure gift and sheer grace

I was at a Mass today for someone's anniversary, and the priest quoted that line, because the deceased had really immersed himself in scripture.

Why violet as opposed to white? (I can see you're still alive, btw)

Got home earlier today from my retreat. Eight days of solitude and slowing down with God... #Prayer, daily walks, reading, blackberry picking... and time spent sitting at my door, gazing at this view, with its ever changing light, and drifting clouds
