I started ringing church bells when I was 8 - fell out of it at about 14 - took it up again this year (in Feb) after a 25 year break and tonight rang my first 1/4 peal (unplanned and pretty impromptu). Very happy with that :)

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

#PopeFrancis was an extraordinary man, who was determined to keep at the heart of his ministry his calling first & foremost to be a Pastor.
He continually urged his colleagues to focus on the lived reality of those they were called to serve
Our world has lost a great Godly man today 🙏

"With joyful devotion, Francis dwelt in the heavenly mansions, and in complete self-emptying, he remained for long periods hidden, as it were, in the wounds of the Savior. Here therefore sought out solitary place where he could cast his soul entirely upon God." #Celano #SaintFrancisOfAssisi

Was enamoured by the Letizia Battaglia exhibition at the Photographers Gallery. She was known for bravely photographing the mafia violence of Palermo but also for capturing the beauty of the city and the people who lived (and died) there. These two images really stood out for me.

My aunty gave me this - I think it’s mother of pearl and it’s from Bethlehem (says on the back) - does anyone recognise it as a symbol?

Love, indeed, is the source of all good things; it is an impregnable defence, and the way that leads to heaven. He who walks in love can neither go astray nor be afraid: love guides him, protects him, and brings him to his journey’s end.

God of glory, to honour the blessed Virgin Mary you changed Tepeyac’s barren ground into a fragrant garden of flowers. Transform the rough places of our hearts and of our world so that our lives may bear the imprint of Mary‘s faith and love. Hear us as we pray: Lord, bless your people. BDP

The Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe wrote that God can never tell you not to love someone. God can only tell you to do a better job loving someone. (God is somewhat better at this than I.)
