For the health of soul and body...

"In the Eucharist, all is love.
Jesus comes to us and dwells in us.
In doing so, He teaches us
how we are to love one another." - St Augustine
 
 
 "This most high
and most excellent Sacrament
is the health of soul and body,
the remedy of all spiritual diseases,
by which my vices are cured,
my passions are restrained,
temptations are overcome or lessened,
a greater grace is infused,
virtue receives an increase,
faith is confirmed,
hope strengthened,
and charity inflamed and extended."

Thomas a Kempis
Imitation of Christ
Book 4, Chapter 4
 



 MEMORIAL DAY - 27 May 2019
Eternal remembrance and gratitude for the innumerable, generous, 
courageous, self-sacrificing and heroic acts of service – seen and unseen.
We don't know them all, but we owe them all.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all of the faithful departed 
through the mercy of God rest in peace. AMEN
