@davidrocksop Sarah Kenyon, OSBC salutes you! @oratoryschool

[Fr David Rocks OP @davidrocksop]

@DonnaTraynorTV Thanks for all you have done

[Fr David Rocks OP @davidrocksop]

The Magnificat expresses exactly the message of many aspects of various Marian apparitions: the solidarity with the poor and sick in Lourdes. The compassion for sinners in Fatima. The care for the vulnerable in Guadalupe. Solidarity with the oppressed in Knock.

[Raymond Friel OBE @friel_raymond]

Just a thought: why don’t any of the Marian apparitions present us with the Mary of Luke’s gospel? The prophetic voice that sings of the lowly being exalted, the rich being sent away empty? This is a political vision, the reversal of expectations, a new vision for humanity.

[Fr David Rocks OP @davidrocksop]

What nonsense

[Fr David Rocks OP @davidrocksop]

@friel_raymond Reflect on the messages of the various approved apparitions, Raymond. The Magnificat is more than a political manifesto, it is a Marian and Christological spirituality.

[Fr David Rocks OP @davidrocksop]

@friel_raymond Congratulations and thanks for your dedication to Catholic education. Enjoy your day

Great to have my brother @samuelburke at the @oratoryschool

It was great to welcome Fr Samuel, and to hear his thoughts on peace. God bless his ministry, and the work of our Armed Forces in protecting our freedom.

We unite in prayer to mark the passing of Pope Benedict XVI. During his visit to the UK in 2010, he beatified our Founder, St John Henry Newman. May he rest in peace.
