Dear All, Today is a world-wide day of prayer for those who are poor. Our reflections are on that theme. Our thoughts obviously go first to those who are materially poor but there are so many other types of poverty – it can be an educational poverty, a spiritual poverty, the poverty of loneliness…

Dear All, We are looking back a bit today to All Souls Day – last Saturday. It isn’t an easy day for me in terms of making sense of it as it follows on immediately from All Saints. Who do we have in mind on All Souls Day that we haven’t had in mind on…
Dear All, Yesterday was the Feast of ‘All Saints’ – today is ‘All Souls Day’. This week’s reflections are focused on All Saints – there is plenty of good material. Next week we will look at All Souls – I need a bit more time to get my head round it – for me,…

Dear Friends, On October 8th, next Tuesday, we celebrate the 382nd anniversary of our Community’s Foundation in Liège. It is a day of great thanksgiving for us & one of remembering our forebears both in the Low Countries &, in the last 230 years, in England. Mindful of that we are giving you rather…

Dear Friends, Unsurprisingly, our theme this week is Autumn. A few themes come again & again: completion, gratitude, bounty, harvest and so on. We speak of the autumn of life – those of us who are living it know it is sometimes a struggle but maybe a focus on all that Autumn brings us –…
