Today would have been my mum's 98th birthday. And in heaven as on earth, I'm sure she is celebrating with her darling, caro Luciano...

Happy birthday mum... Buon Compleanno mamma... Bon Complean Zina!

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

An out and about work day today. Spotted this side chapel. Can anyone guess which London church I was in?

Good #SaturdayMorning everyone! Here's the newest Doctor of the Church, in Westminster Cathedral.

Praying or snoozing? Or managing to combine both? - as happens all too often to many pray-ers!

Mosaic of John Henry Newman with his eyes shut, and the words 'Prayer is a vital act of faith'.

Today work took me to Diocesan HQ, and this was my homeward view.... Westminster Cathedral, looking almost as lovely in reflection as it does in all its real-life glory!

Hmmm... 🤔

Has anyone actually tried this? (The scented flavour, or more intriguingly, the silly pig-riding mango?)

And if you've tried it, does it do whatever you expect it to do?

International Mass & party in my parish today. A very diverse community, with people from every corner of the globe - and therefore lots of folk in national clothes or colours. I managed this #Italian tricolore look - bianco, rosso e verde ❤️🤍💚

#HabemusPapam!

We pray for #PopeLeoXIV, for wisdom, humility, discernment and an abundance of the gifts & fruits of the #HolySpirit. May he be a builder of peace & a witness of the unconditional love of God.

#SacredHeartofJesus, give Pope Leo - give all of us - a heart that is one with your own

Back at Diocesan HQ today, so I brought you all with me again to Westminster Cathedral. People of all ages & backgrounds still coming to pray, light candles, bring flowers

Yesterday I was at Diocesan HQ, so I was able to visit the Cathedral. Dozens of people pausing to light candles, pray for #PopeFrancis and pick up #prayer cards. (I had to wait for a lull before taking the 1st pic)

A walk on the southside, via the blossom outside St Paul's, Hammersmith. Spring is springing all over the place!

Popped into this church recently, and was in a side chapel just as the sun decided to turn this part into stunning abstract art.

Can anyone guess where I was? Hint: inner West rather than outer London

Remembering St #OscarRomero's courageous, prophetic, self-giving example and legacy, on the 45th anniversary of his martyrdom.

May he pray for us - the voiceless, and those with a voice to raise.

Hoping all my Irish #RSCJ sisters and friends are enjoying a very happy #StPatricksDay ☘️💚

This #green jumper was my last pre- #Lent charity shop treat - today seemed an excellent day for its debut!

So... I was here this morning, with religious from across the Diocese.

A prayer or 2 said for women & men who follow Jesus in #ReligiousLife, that we may always radiate the Love that has called us with joy & passion.

Happy #Epiphany everyone! The wise men have arrived (complete with animal entourage), so it's getting a bit crowded - but as with the ❤️ of Jesus, there's room for everyone in this corner! Joseph is making sure the new visitors know they're welcome.

First day #BackToWork - today I'm at Diocesan HQ, behind this beauty. So lovely to see that the sun has returned to work as well!

After lots of greyness, blue skies and 🌞 are so very welcome, though it's also very 🥶

May your #Christmas be filled with joy, and light and Jesus, wherever & however you may be! 🙏

This was after #MidnightMass at Our Lady of Fatima, White City - the shepherds & wise men should have no trouble finding Jesus here!

Yesterday, after a few hours in Diocesan HQ, I popped into Westminster Cathedral. All is ready... waiting...

And if you look beyond, at the other end of the cathedral, a reminder of Love's deepest reason and meaning...

Preparing my #Advent wreath. Greenery as always from my garden, and this year's scented candles courtesy of Ikea.

@srmiriamosb.bsky.social - do you know if the names are real words, or just made-up Scandi-esque?
