Dear Brothers & Sisters

Sister Faustina Kowalska would have been celebrated today (Oct 5) but the Sunday took precedence. She died of TB in 1938 aged only 33. But the devotion to Divine Mercy she inspired (because of revelations given) stir millions all over the world. She was canonised by Pope John Paul II in 2000.

St.Bruno (Monday) scandalised by messy church politics in 1084, founded the Carthusians, a commune of hermits in bleak hill country to protest against power politics. But he was much in demand from bishops & popes as adviser. A later generation of monks earned a living by making Chartreuse.

Our Lady of the Rosary (Tuesday) marks October as month of the Rosary. We always have rosary daily in chapel before 10.15 mass.

St. John Henry Newman (Thursday) who was often maligned by jealous contemporaries, but whose goodness & clear mind gave the church a precious legacy. Against prevailing winds of  the day, he insisted that catholic doctrine should develop to be faithful to Christ and that lay people must have a voice in this movement.

St.Paulinus (Friday) 1st Bp. of York was sent by Pope Gregory in 601 as apostle to Anglo-Saxons. He baptised King Edwin of Northumbria King Edwin, & also the future St.Hilda of Whitby.

St.John XXIII (Saturday) was only pope for five years, but God used him to let fresh air into the church, & begin a process that still continues.

Blessed William Howard (also Saturday) grandson of St.Philip Howard was like him a martyr of penal times. The present Duke of Norfolk is a descendant.
