A Happy and Holy New Year



Incline unto my aid, O God;
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Deus, in adjutorium meum intende;
Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
(Ps. 69:2)

    That was so nice of you to make this wish in person. As usual I enjoyed your wise words. I wish you all over in Papa Stronsay a Happy and Holy New Year from here in Christchurch

  4. Thank you very much Fr. Michael Mary; a blessed New Year to you and all the Sons too! I wish all could see this message for the coming year. Prayers for your parents, and for full canonical status within the Church (with His Lordship Gilbert I am sure it will be very soon!). I'll be making my discernment visit in about a month from now; and so it is my own joy, and hope, to beg God that this year I may enter into religious life with the Sons and be a servant in the house of the Lord.

    Let God's will be done this year in all things!

    Wishing you a blessed Sunday, Father.

  12. Thank you Father, how important it is that you can use the web to teach us in the faith. Just think Father, that the prayer that you have encouraged us to say is now printed off and pinned up at home next to the Papa Stronsay calendar!
