Remember the infants who lost lives to someone’s cruelty, and pay a tribute to them by having a feast on holy innocents day

The reality is that we know this service so well that it wraps itself around us and brings us peace and calm and joy. The irony is that its creator was endeavouring to find something new to face the terrors of his day because there wasn’t anything so beautiful that he could wrap around his people in 1918. The truth is that this service was constructed in the face of the grief and horror of the First World War, which had ended only 6 weeks before.

My Lord and my God

"An action done entirely and purely for God, with a pure heart, creates a whole kingdom for those who make it."

"You will not find what you want or most desire, neither on this road of yours nor for that of high contemplation, but in a great humility and submission of heart."
