Speed, not death, is the great leveller today. Travellers dash around the globe destroying by their visits the very sites and cultures they have come to view. Even for those who do not travel, the mass media homogenize experience and do so with the speed of light. Only the past stands secure from the poking[…]
A blessed and joyous feast of the Visitation, commemorating the journey and meeting of the Virgin Mary to her ‘kinswoman’ Elizabeth, at her home in the hills of Judea. Both women were expecting, and the children within their wombs, one the Son of God, the other His final prophet, ‘leapt for joy’, as did his[…]

Today is a rarity in our liturgical calendar, as we celebrate no less than three saints, each of them optional memorials: In order of time, we have first Saint Bede the Venerable (+735), an English monk, who was sent to the monastery of Wearmouth as a young boy of seven as a puer oblatus, and[…]
