One week since I left my job and just over one week until I enter the convent! Trying to enjoy this space between by seeing friends etc but of course a bug has taken me down for days and I’m now on antibiotics. If anyone has prayers going spare, I’d appreciate them 🙏🏻

November 29th is the feast of All Franciscan Saints. For eight centuries men and women have lived out their vocation for Christ in the way of Saint Francis and Saint Clare. Would you like to meet some of them? Robert Ellsberg has written a fine introduction: www.franciscanmedia.org/st-anthony-m...

Whether you agree with the proposed bill or not, I think the one thing we can agree on is that palliative care is dreadfully underfunded. Most is done by charitable organisations. That is indefensible. We need to put more money into end of life care. It’s about respect.
In the week that MPs vote on assisted dying, please - please - can we all agree & act on the fact that the time to end the woeful underfunding of NHS palliative care is now?
If we truly cared about dying people, we wouldn’t neglect their final days.
Over to you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
