This Week’s Feast Days

 

Wednesday 7th: Our Lady of the Rosary

Friday 9th: St. John Henry Newman

 

Prayer of Cardinal Newman 

May the Lord support us all the day long,
Till the shades lengthen and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging,
and holy rest, and peace at the last.

 Amen.
