On the feast of my favourite saint, St Thérèse of Lisieux, I’m reminded of her beautiful promise: “I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will send down a shower of roses.”

May the Little Flower teach us that holiness is found not necessary in great things, but in love poured out in the smallest moments.🌹

This wonderful young man is called Albert I first met him and his dad at the Jimmys day @MillwallFC.
When we did our Walking for Jimmy Albert took part walking 14 of the bridges which is about 15 miles with his dad and raised over £2500 for our charity
What a simply amazing and kind young man who touched our hearts and we will be forever grateful

I remember this day 34 years ago as if it were yesterday, the day our darling Jimmy was born. From the moment he came into this world, he brought nothing but joy, not only to our family but to all his friends too.
He was filled with love, and everything he did, he did with that amazing smile.

Over the past few days, I’ve been watching old videos of Jimmy. I thought they would make me cry, but instead they mostly made me smile... although there were a little tear or two as well.

As much as I remember his birthday, I also vividly remember the day he died, and I cannot believe it has been 18 years tomorrow. Somehow, it feels like I have lost some of those years.

Barry and I are always so grateful for all the love and support we receive. It truly makes such a difference to us and our family.

We will always continue to spread Jimmy’s legacy of forgiveness, peace and hope, because every young person is precious, just like Jimmy was.

Much love,
Margaret x

HE IS WITH US.
HE IS RISEN.

This Easter look for these of HOPE around you. BE a sign of hope to others so that they might know the Risen Jesus through your actions.

[The Romero Trust @RomeroTrust]

Those who put their faith in the Risen One & work for a more just world; those who protest against the injustices of the present system, against the wrongfulness of humans exploiting humans — these alone are authentic Christians —St Oscar Romero, Easter Sunday 1978 #StOscarRomero

Good Friday is a solemn day to remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Through His suffering & death, He shows us the depth of God’s love & mercy. ✝️💔
🙏 Lord Jesus, we stand in awe of Your love. May Your sacrifice strengthen our faith and guide our lives. Amen. #GoodFriday

Today is the feast of St. Óscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, appointed in 1977, the year a civil war broke out in the country. He is remembered as a man who was a voice for the voiceless, killed for proclaiming the word of the Lord. EWTN’s Valentina Di Donato reports.

Wilberforce got the statue.

This man got the mud.

Thirty-five thousand miles of it.

His name was Thomas Clarkson. Born in England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cambridgeshire. 1760.

He was twenty-four years old when Cambridge set him an essay question.

"Is it lawful to make slaves of others against their will?"

He knew nothing about slavery. So he started reading.

Two months later he couldn't stop. He won the prize and rode home to London with something nobody had given him. A conscience he couldn't put down.

Halfway there, on a quiet country road, he stopped his horse.

Sat in the silence of the English countryside.

The trade was real. He had just proved it. And somebody had to stop it.

So he gave up the church and got to work.

Bristol. Liverpool. Every slave port in Britain. Into the taverns, the back rooms, the ships. Asking sailors what they had seen below decks. Men who had been there. Who knew what happened on the Middle Passage.

Some refused. Some were threatened. Some were bought.

Clarkson kept riding.

Thirty-five thousand miles. Ten years. Every testimony written down in longhand on the road.

All of it handed to a young MP named William Wilberforce.

Wilberforce went to Parliament and gave the speeches.

Clarkson saddled up and went back out.

In 1792 they put a petition together. Not from London. Not from the powerful. From ordinary men and women. Market towns, village squares, chapel steps across England.

Four hundred thousand signatures. The largest petition in British parliamentary history.

Parliament voted it down.

So they went again. And again. Eighteen years of going again.

25 March 1807. The Slave Trade Act passed. Britain outlawed the trade and turned the Royal Navy loose to hunt the ships.

History gave Wilberforce the statue. Coleridge called Clarkson the moral steam engine of the abolition movement.

Clarkson lived to see slavery abolished completely in 1833. An old man of seventy-three, who had started this at twenty-four. He died in 1846. The last surviving founder of the original committee.

He never held office. Never gave the famous speeches.

He just got back on the horse.

For sixty years.

Did they teach you his name?

Together we keep our history alive.

How very sad that the House of Lords have voted for abortion up to birth I hope today they are all feeling ashamed of them selves as should @stellacreasy. Everyone has an opinion which I respect however a baby being killed for anything is a crime.
Life is never easy I should know but today I am weeping.
It’s always been bad enough that you can abort up to birth for Down Syndrome, my precious daughter Samantha has Down Syndrome she has brought nothing and I mean nothing but joy we have a world where our children are killing our children, countries at war violent criminals and then we want to take the life of an innocent baby absolute shame on those who voted for it

I make no apologies, for posting my favourite goal of all-time…Again!
Also, commentator Gerald Sinstadt doesn’t overdo the commentary by non-stop shouting and waffling, Frank Worthington scores, and the commentator pauses for viewers to take it all in.
Not just a quality goal, but a quality piece of Commentary.
And both sadly are not with us anymore.

A major news story that will not get the coverage it deserves:

Over 300 schoolchildren and 12 teachers have been abducted by gunmen from St. Mary’s School, a Catholic institution in north-central Nigeria’s Niger state.
This updates an earlier count of 215 schoolchildren.
The students are male and female, ranging in age from 10 to 18.
Their kidnapping happened four days after 25 schoolchildren were seized in similar circumstances in neighboring Kebbi state.
Nobody yet claimed responsibility.
