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.

@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.

@davidrocksop I’m not immediately see the connection, Fr David, between holiness and healing and the societal upendings of the Magnificat.

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

I won’t be handing back my OBE, not because I don’t have any issues with the British Empire, but because I’m honoured that (yet another) Catholic educator has been recognised by the British state. Janet and I will be at Windsor Castle next month in our best bib and tucker.

Pope Francis calls for better homilies which he says are often a “disaster” & should be no longer than 8-10 minutes.
Full text (vatican.va/content/france…)
His remarks echo the synod working document which said “the quality of homilies is almost unanimously reported as a problem”

I was delighted to return to my old stomping ground @hxleicester with my fabulous U6th @oratoryschool for a day of recollection. How impressive they are! And great to use the facilities at the Frassati Centre!

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.
