Dear Father Donald,

How kind of you to show interest in my Borderland sketches and paintings.

I attach a copy of the Canonbie Peel Tower painting, and one of the Tarrus river mentioned in the programme (plus another sketch of Jedburgh and Sweetheart). We had some wonderful days out in those years when Edith could drive a car, and these sketches keep all those memories alive.

Thank you!

Dear Father Donald,

Thank you for these photographs - I do so wish that I had seen this programme. Br Barry has grown in stature each and every year, and will have been an excellent ambassador. Years ago, when Edith was well and able to drive a car,

I learnt of Nunraw from the custodian at Jedburgh Abbey! We would visit the three abbeys,      

Jedburgh Abbey

Melrose, Jedburgh, and Dryburgh, where I made many sketches; 

also Sweetheart, which I found enchanting. 

Lovely memories of days listening to the secrets of the stones!

With my love in the Risen Lord,

William

Dear Father Donald,  

The URL you gave worked perfectly, thank you! It was a real delight to see the whole programme - I had done a painting year's ago that included the peel tower featured in the programme, and Edith and I have visited many of the film locations. So, a double delight!

Thank you!

William

2nd Thursday of Easter, "He who believes in the Son of Man"

Fr. Nivard - community barber.

Mass Introduction. Fr. Nivard

Magnificat. Adapted 

 2 Thurs 1 May 14: John 3:31-36 

"He who believes in the Son has eternal life"

   In 1955, Pius XII moved the feast of St Joseph’s patronage of the Universal Church to the 1^st of May. He renamed it the Feast of Joseph “the Worker”.

   Today is also celebrated, worldwide, as Labour Day. In Bamenda, our 20 workers parade through the town with a picture of the monastery printed on their new ‘T’ shirts in the monastery truck.

   St Joseph watches over the entire Church just as he protected the original “domestic Church”, the Holy Family.

   Through the work of his hands, Joseph provided for the material needs of Mary and Jesus. He educated Jesus and patiently schooled him in the trade of carpentry. “Work was the daily expression of love in the life of the Family of Nazareth”.

  

Father, let your Holy Spirit fill us and transform our hearts that we may choose life - the abundant life you offer to those who trust in you, through Christ our Lord.

A Holy and Illuminating Pasch. Two Easter Engravings by Eric Gill

The unnamed woman at the house of Simon the Leper at Bethany (Mk 14:8) 

Dear Fr. Edward, 

Eastertide - it was joy to hear from you.

I am delighted your Easter greeting on 'A Holy and Illuminating Pasch'.

Of the half-dozen texts of a woman anointing the feet of Jesus, the text which best corresponds to the Eric Gill engraving

is that of the unnamed woman at the house of Simon the Leper at Bethany (Mk 14,8), whose anonymity breathes out the highest sincerity.

How well the artist instinctively brings the fullness of Paschal reference. in Jesus',;ght hand the Eucharistic cup containing the whole,

destined to be the Memory-which-makes-present through Millions of celebrations;

the outspread {eft arm and hand embraces the Cross-vacated Calvary and the empty Tomb. In Jesus humanity is added to Divinity in closest Oneness,

and infinitely so!

Dear Father Donald,

Thank you for sending the material about the TV programme.

I am always uncertain how to break through the difficulties to pick up a programme like that. I     have tried, but I have failed again this time.

Nevertheless your selection makes it clear to me  about the essence of the programme. Thank you very much for that.

The double canonisation was a literal spiritually touching event. The Sister Superior from here was present, and returns on Friday, and will have met the Pope.

Blessings in Domino,

fr Edward O.P.

Episode 2 of 2

DURATION: 1 HOUR

Hadrian's Wall cut a deep scar across Britain that would never be forgotten. A thousand years after the Romans left, the island split once again, near the line of the wall, into the Kingdoms of England and Scotland.

Historian and MP Rory Stewart tells the story of how Britain was torn in two. The border country dividing Britain's lost Middleland became a zone of anarchy, as violent as border areas in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan.
