Dear Brothers & Sisters Blessed Dominic Barberi (Tuesday) is considered a local saint even though he came from Viterbo, Italy, as he brought the Passionists to Birmingham and received John Henry Newman into the Catholic Church in 1845. St.Monica (Wednesday) was mother of St.Augustine and prayed unceasingly for his conversion during his wayward youth. A friend of St. Ambrose, she is the patron saint of all parents of ‘difficult’ children. St.Augustine (Thursday) the theologian of the early church, was humble about his successes. Because of his turbulent youth he is patron of all struggling with addictions & compulsive behaviour. St.John the Baptist’s death (Friday) is a tale of miscarriage of justice. The chain of events up to his death is echoed by the plight of political prisoners the world over today. But like John, they never give up witnessing to the truth even if they pay the ultimate price. Saints Margaret Clitheroe, Anne Line & Margaret Ward (Saturday) were faithful married women of reformation times who stayed loyal to catholic faith, often hiding priests in danger. Like many they paid with their lives for choosing fidelity to Christ to currents of the day.
