Our Lady Of WalsinghamIn March 2020, Cardinal Vincent Nichols will re-dedicate the country to Our Lady of Walsingham at Westminster Cathedral. In preparation for this, the National Statue of Our Lady of Walsingham has been visiting all the Catholic Cathedrals of England over the last two years. Many parishes are preparing for this great event which will be celebrated throughout the Country on March 29th 2020. We at St. Teresa’s are preparing for this event by circulating the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham to as many homes as requested.
There is a list in the Narthex for you to sign if you would like to invite Our Lady to your home for one week. (In1897, Pope LeoXlll prophesied when England came back to Walsingham, Our Lady will come back to England). |

FAITH DEMANDS WORSHIPPope Francis prayed that at the start of the new year, we might “discover anew that faith demands worship”. Adoration, he said. “means putting the Lord at the centre, not ourselves”. He explains that worship means “making space for God’s plan”, realizing that we belong with God, and “being able to speak to him freely and intimately”. Worship, the Pope said, means discovering that, “in order to pray, it is enough to say ‘My Lord and my God’ and to allow ourselves to be pervaded by His tender love”.
The Pope said that “worship is an act of love that changes our lives”. Although we have some idea of what it means to pray, he said “the church must go even further with the prayer of adoration, we have to grow in adoration. It is a wisdom that we must learn each day”. |
