"The face of God is that of a merciful father, who is always patient... He does not tire of forgiving us if we know how to turn to him with a contrite heart... The Lord never tires of forgiving. We are the ones who tire of asking for forgiveness." (Angelus, March 17, 2013)

Another saintly priest to support with prayer
Father Ray has come in for some stick following an article in the Brighton Argus. He gives a very moving reaction. Clarity and compassion are generally found together, just like truth and love, veritas et caritas.

Definitely, I found Fr Ray's post very moving and full of compassion, not to mention common sense.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the way Fr Ray's analysis on many topics often brings a unique perspective on things.
ReplyDeleteFr Ray Blake - a real Hero! Tells it like it is and is not afraid of raising issues others would hide in a dark closet from.
ReplyDeleteA True Hero much like yourself Fr John.
Rest assured our dearest and Holy Priests that you are prayed for daily in our household and countless others across this land and that your good works are sustained by our High Priest - Jesus Christ. Your rewards will be great in Heaven for having borne the burdens in His Name in this world. God Bless.
George: thank you for your prayers for us.
ReplyDeleteFr John, on the contrary - boundless thanks for your Holy Catholic Priestly Ministry and Faithful Witness to Our Blessed Lord Jesus in the face of a faithless and hostile world.
