Today’s “prayer table” at home - a focus for my Morning Prayer, Intercession and Adoration. I prayed today for all my followers on here and other social media, as well as for those who had asked for particular intentions, and for the Church and the world.

Today the Church keeps the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham

I belong to an online Walsingham Prayer Cell, daily asking her prayers for requested intentions, for the Little Sisters of Jesus who live there and for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

O Blessed Mary, Mother of God,
Our Lady of Walsingham,
intercede for us.

“Most glorious and holy God,
whose servant Hildegard, strong in the faith,
was caught up in the vision of your heavenly courts:
by the breath of your Spirit
open our eyes to glimpse your glory
and our lips to sing your praises with all the angels”

“We wonder whether we are useful, valuable or significant. Our tendency is to get busy, to reassure ourselves that we are “somebodies” - - - What makes us “somebodies” is not other people’s responses to us but God’s eternal love for us”

Commending all for whom I have promised to pray, and all those with whom I interact on social media, to her most powerful intercession.

An online fundraising event for my good friend Rommel Linatoc, who is seriously ill in #Philippines. It was as a result of his visit to Leicester in 2005, that I took part in a solidarity mission to the Philippines and developed a long standing concern for justice issues there.

“Her hands rushed to grasp him;
to hold and hug and grip his body close - -
“Don’t touch me now.”
I stopped and waited, my rejected passion
hovering between us like some dying thing.
I, Mary stood and grieved, and then departed.

I have a Gospel to proclaim”

#OTD in 1985, Fr. Rudy Romano, a Redemptorist Priest was abducted on the streets of #Manila, and never seen again. He was an outspoken defender of the dignity of the poor and opponent of oppressive State policies.
May we be inspired by his example to confront tyranny and injustice

An new icon for the most vulnerable - migrants, refugees and “the other” - children in Gaza, those detained by Ice, innocent families in Yemen, Iran, Sudan and elsewhere, who live in the path of war.

The God Jesus represents “storms through the pages of history as the enemy of tyrants, the condemner of the exploiter - - who dies not overlook the iniquities of the mighty against the powerless”

“We have made a god in our own Western image & likeness. This god can tolerate the intolerable, put up with massacres, take genocide in his stride - - and still keep his cool. Such a god is a monster and is totally alien to Scripture. - - we have reduced the living God to an idol”
