Telling God our story is never useless: even if the record of events remains the same, the meaning & perspective are always changing. To tell our story to the Lord is to enter into his gaze of compassionate love for us & for others https://t.co/iYhC1zSefo
#WorldCommunicationsDay
A pleasure to be with @CardinalNichols and @JohnSentamu today to talk and pray together on #AscensionDay. We’re immensely looking forward to joining with Christians of many denominations all round the world to pray #ThyKingdomCome over the next 11 days.
Note that Jesus doesn’t disclose His identity until they they described how they found His tomb empty but “Him they did not see.” That’s how it is with us, too. Unless He revealed himself we would see only an empty tomb and a meaningless death.

To alleviate the anxiety of the people and to keep them entertained ❤
As we move to the next phase of the response to #coronavirus the emphasis is very much on protecting the elderly, esp those who are particularly vulnerable. This will be a priority well understood & quickly accepted by the Catholic community &, I am sure, throughout our society.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Bishop Daniel Mullins, Bishop Emeritus of Menevia and former Auxilary Bishop of Cardiff who died peacefully last night.

"... this humour was one of the sweetest fruits of humility: a sense of lowness, as sinners, but sinners who have been redeemed, and who now have a joyful trust in God."

#StsPeterandPaul were transparent before God. Throughout life, they preserved this humility, to the very end. Both understood that holiness does not consist in exalting but rather humbling oneself.
