It's on the poster in any case, but you put the World Youth Day one twice, thus omitting the bolshily-named "Why the Church is Right about Contraception".

(I notice the capitalization is all over the place on that poster, but as it sounds like a lot of good things are happening, I shan't complain too loudly)

I can't believe you would criticise my work. I have worked very long and hard on this poster and you should be grateful. I am particularly shocked that you would put your criticism on the Internet for everyone to see!

For somebody who is supposed to be a Christian you are not being very Christian!

Canon 335.i subparagraph c obliges lay Catholics to bear witness to the Truth. I cannot therefore shirk my sacred duty of correcting your various typographcial errors, all of which are potentially capable of leading souls directly to hell.

What if someone should attend the wrong talk? What kind of witness would that be to the One, Holy, Catholic an Apostolic Church?

I think you should take a long, hard look at the plank in _your_ eye, ugly.

Yours in the love of Christ, and all his saints, who I know in my heart are supporting me in my fervent battle against the father of lies (Satan).

It would be especially childish of you to comment on my own typing errors; This is your blog after all.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

To the Blessed Virgin Prayer for England

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee.

By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more.

Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the cross.

O sorrowful Mother! intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son.

Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home.

Amen.

Couple's Prayer

O God, our heavenly Father, protect and bless us. Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day.

Grant that by thy mercy, neither of us may ever say one unkind word to the other. Forgive and correct our faults, and make us constantly to forgive one another should one of us unconsciously hurt the other.

Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in heart, and devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then, we pray thee, add to our common life such virtues as only thou canst give.

And so, O Father, consecrate our life and love completely to thy worship, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom thou hast appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before thee in happiness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
