A tale of three shepherds.
The first is Canon James Morrow, RIP, who died this morning. A great pro-life Priest who would probably have been willing to lay down his life for the Pope. And maybe he did, since he began his calvary as the Pope arrived in Scotland to media vitriol. Please pray for the repose of his soul.
The second is Fr Stephen Langridge, Parish Priest Extraordinaire who has distributed is it 6,000, is it 9,000(?) tickets for Hyde Park. An island of sanity in a mad beaurocratic nightmare, whatever the figures we reckon he and his team responsible for about 10%of the Hyde PArk Vigil attendees being able to get tickets. Fr Langridge for Bishop.
The third is Pope Benedict XVI. He has won over the most vitriolic commentators and silenced many others. Not through a "charm offensive" just through courage, truth and love.
Thanks be to God for so many good shepherds in a world of wolves.

Amen to all. Slightly off topic, but please can you identify the beautiful picture of 'Our Lady holding the Child Jesus and a Lamb'. Thank you. PS If you post a reply in your Comment box, that would be fine.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say I can't! I have seen it called "Mary Mother of the Lamb of God" but I don't know if that is correct.
