Today is the feast of the Sacred Heart, a day in which we remember the divine love that Jesus has for humanity. You can mark this day by praying a simple devotion called the Litany. You can find a video to walk you through here: https://t.co/7NTyTdRF8F
Jesus calming the storm is one of the Bible's most famous stories. But there's more to it than it first seems. Join us at 11am tomorrow in our building or online for our Parish Mass, and to find out more: https://t.co/ZwaGuz2Dli
St Sebastian was an early Christian martyr, who ended up looking a bit like a pin cushion (although, this incident didn’t kill him). He’s also patron of plague victims, so seems a pretty handy saint to have around at the moment #saintoftheday
Tomorrow is the Baptism of Christ, which comes with an important message. We have made the incredible difficult decision to close for worship in our building for the time being. It breaks our hearts to do so, but it comes as a major incident is declared in London.
Tomorrow is the feast of the Epiphany and the wise men finally get their act together and arrive at the party. We gather for Mass at 10am, which will be available online afterwards.
Today is the feast day of St Francis Xavier. Born in 1506, together with St Ignatius Loyola and others he founded the Jesuit order, and travelled to India, SE Asia and Japan spreading the good news of Christ #saintoftheday
Our Mass for today is up on our YouTube channel. Just search for SJEBP, and hear about the Parable of the Talents.
Today is the feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross, that horrific instrument of torture that became the means of our salvation. You’ve seen plenty of pictures of Jesus on a cross, so here’s the painting The Mountain of the Holy Cross by Thomas Moran (1890) #saintoftheday
It's all about loaves and fishes at Mass today. Join us at 11am to find out more...remember your face mask, and you can pick up the pew sheet here: https://t.co/NZIJrCKO4b (painting by Eileen Sieben)
Who knew chopping down a tree could convert people to Christianity? After leaving his home in Devon and travelling to Germany in 716AD, St Boniface felled the Donar Oak which was dedicated to the God Jupiter. When nothing happened, the people converted. Simple. #saintoftheday
