Water clever machine...

Blogged by James Preece 1 Month ago...

In Salisbury Cathedral they have an interesting font with running water. It's not even very ugly (compared with most things that get built these days).

If people really want to be cutting edge in the font department (and I'm not sure I do) they should really get themselves one of these...

If you don't have long, skip to the five minute mark when the gothic arches come in...

Catholic Education Services: Just keep digging...

Blogged by James Preece 2 Months ago...

This is Catholic Education Services docment "Setting the record straight":

This what happens if you put water on a chip pan fire:

There has been a great deal of misreporting and misleading information circulated regarding PSHE in schools and therefore we hope this document is of help to parents, schools, staff, governors, members of the Catholic community and the media in helping to set the record straight on this issue.

Sex and Relationships Education: Setting the record straight (pdf)

Oh wait, I think I muddled them up. They are both so similar...

The Anvil Test

Blogged by James Preece 3 Months ago...

I can't help thinking the world would be a better place if all those involved in the liturgy were invited to launch an anvil 200ft in the air.

Anybody who said "What's the point?" would fail the test.

The sort of priest who decides, for example, not to have incense any more, would be caught out by this test and sent to a re-education camp where he would be made to play with matches and use a big knife to sharpen sticks.

You know, man stuff.

Magic Carpet Ride

Blogged by James Preece 4 Months ago...

I took the afternoon off work today to acompany Ella to the hospital for an appointment. Nothing serious - she's been having trouble with her hips since she had Joanne and has been seeing a physio who is very good.

What Ella really needs is one of these...

Thanks to Jimmy Akin.

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.

Babies Bedtime Prayer

Father, thankyou for all the good things that have happened to me today.

Thankyou for keeping me safe and well, thankyou for fun and laughter with my friends, thank you for what I have learned, thank you for all those that I love.

Help us all to sleep soundly tonight.

Amen.
