An excellent and timely article by Mark Clavier.. “The Church is called not to wield the sword of empire, but to bear the cross of Jesus, to resist the idolatry of nationalism, and to proclaim a kingdom that can’t be corrupted or bought.” markclavier.substack.com/p/the-flag-i...

Picked up one of these going cheaply as a souvenir to bring back to the Abbey. Thinking about Faculties, it’s probably just a List B thing, right?

Just back from a lovely couple of weeks with the family in Galicia, including walking a bit of the Camino, visiting Santiago de Compostella, swimming and church crawling with lots of eating, drinking and sleeping in between. Would thoroughly recommend!

At Family Mass we remembered Jesus’ Ascension. Father God, help us to remember that it will be our home too. Fill us with your Spirit, that we may follow him each day and help us to look forward to that day when Jesus will return to be with us forever. Amen

Wonderful to be exploring #Community with tewkesbury town council Mayor at Tewkesbury primary School. We reflected on the story of Nehemiah as a leader in his community and prayed for our new Mayor at the beginning of his mayoral year! #Tewkesbury #Gloucestershire

This weekend, I have opened a bell ringing competition, captured fish shaped prayers in a net, blessed bell ropes, led a mini-pilgrimage and welcomed medieval re-enactors to the Tewkesbury Abbey- just another weekend as Vicar of Tewkesbury. I blame @bptewkesbury.bsky.social

Rest eternal grant unto him O Lord and let light perpetual shine upon. In his homily for Easter Sunday, Pope Francis encouraged us to not settle for the fleeting things of this world or give into sadness, but instead we must run, filled with joy to meet the Lord.
