Today is the feast day of Mother Maria Skobtsova. I've written in the Church Times about why the theology of this remarkable Saint deserves our attention 80 years since her murder in Ravensbruck Concentration Camp.

„When will we wake up from this bloody nightmare? When will we raise our heavy gaze to see love incarnated, and will our heart “burn up” …as it burned in the Apostles on their way to Emmaus?“

The Church must turn to the cry of the world, to the social hell, to injustice, crises, unemployment, and speak the words given her from all eternity: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

This is wonderful news – I’m deeply grateful to His Majesty for again demonstrating his commitment to supporting faith communities across the country.  I hope it affirms and strengthens us all in fighting antisemitism and other prejudice.

Happy ascension day from Hereford.

“The heavens, which opened for His descent down to creatures, also had to open for the Ascension of the Incarnate One. If the Lord had remained on earth and had not returned to heaven, that would have signified that there is no road for the human essence to heaven.”

@HMCOxford Thank you so much!

[Chine McDonald @ChineMcDonald]

So upset by seeing this coverage today. Imagine your 14-year-old child is killed in such a brutal way, and it is possible for his murder to be covered in the media in this way?

'Sword lad'? Pictures of a smiling 'mystic Samurai'? Absolutely horrific.

@LizHSawczenko Thanks so much Liz!
