Relieved and grateful that the best news reporters Christopher Lamb @ctrlamb and Isa Soares @IsaCNN are covering our Holy Father’s lying-in-state, funeral, and thereafter, conclave. We are therefore assured of factual and unbiased journalism. Thank you @CNN

First, +Malcolm, now +John … Liverpool appears to be getting our very excellent Nottingham clergy!
“His Holiness Pope Francis has appointed Bishop John Sherrington as Archbishop of Liverpool. Archbishop-elect John was ordained priest for the Diocese of Nottingham in 1987”.

Living as a Christian cannot be “reduced just to the observance of rituals and precepts; it must be marked by love for Jesus and for one's brothers and sisters; it must become a lived culture" #PopeFrancis in Papua New Guinea 2024

[Karen Cortés Foong D.S.S. @Foong_KC]

Happy feast of St Augustine, patron saint of printers, theologians, and brewers.
St Augustine, pray for us.
St Monica, pray for us.

Tuesday 21:II Jesus continues his condemnation of the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees. In contrast Paul calls on the Thessalonians to stand firm by the tradition he taught then for Jesus has given them love, grace and hope for them to do good. May we respond like them.
