Would be nice not to have Shakespeare as the only Catholic. I propose any/all of Thomas More, King Alfred, Richard Lionheart, Ann Fenwick, St Cuthbert, JH Newman, Becket, Athelstan, Margaret Clitherow, Tolkien, Elizabeth Anscombe, Nicholas Breakspear, or Julian of Norwich
Sr Carol Elizabeth attended a very interesting talk by Fr Michael Rear on the subject 'in July 1538 the revered statue of Our lady of Walsingham was destroyed. But was it? Has it survived? #NunsOfTwitter#simplylife#choice4god
This is the personal prayer book of Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII and one of the most significant figures of the Tudor dynasty.
The prayer book is more than 500 years old, and its pages are beautifully decorated with gold leaf. On the left hand page here is an illustration of a dove, which symbolises both peace and the Holy Spirit.
You can see the prayer book when you visit our museum, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries.
