The change in the hour is the fulcrum on which we turn towards the dark of winter, and a misty, damp morning strewn with brown leaves is a reminder that there is a time for everything: a time for living and a time for dying. Perhaps it is an opportune time for the Vatican to

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the shops, which makes me even more determined not to think about it. A sobering and seasonally appropriate counterweight to this poisonous commercialism comes in the shape of a very gracious invitation from the superintendent to attend “open house” at the local municipal crematorium: “Members of

The Opus Anglicanum exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum opens a window on to medieval English Catholicism and the splendour of Pre-Tridentine liturgy in this country. Opus Anglicanum is the name given to a school of rich embroidery which flourished mainly in the 13th and 14th centuries and was principally used in the adornment

The American Catholics I know intend to vote Trump, not because they feel affection for him or many of his policies but because they have had years of the Obama administration undermining freedom of conscience and they know that Hillary Clinton would erode it still further. It is also important to understand that life issues

This year’s 40 Days for Life campaign is well under way in 306 American cities and towns, as well as others all over the world. This is a peaceful campaign of prayer, fasting and witness which aims to save babies by mounting prayer vigils outside abortion mills. It has been operating in England for several

Chesterton said that journalism is mostly “saying ‘Lord Jones is dead,’ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive”. I was reminded of this when a journalist from a national newspaper called me this week. Someone had given my name to him because he said he was writing about the death of Fr

I think the most alienating thing about a return to the city and to work is the tyranny of the digital age. How good it was not to be at the beck and call of emails, with their ability to find you anytime and the concomitant implication that their speed and ease of flight should

Each time I visit Lisieux and Alençon, as I did again on my summer holiday, I am struck by the mysterious workings of God’s providence and grace in the lives of the Martin family, who have already had three members raised to the altars and may, God willing, have others. Their heroic lives and witness

Within easy reach of my holiday gîte is Alençon, still famous for the manufacture of Point d’Alençon lace. Typical of the seriousness with which the French take their cultural patrimony, the former College des Jésuites houses a museum where the history is told and the craft demonstrated. Lace was a must-have fashion accessory in 17th-century

How Catholic France can recapture its brilliance One of the luxuries of my holiday in Normandy was fresh bread for breakfast. There is a simple joy in making the journey to the quiet village early in the morning for bread, still warm, from the spotless bakery on the village square. Opposite stands the church, and

The feast of St Martha (July 29) is a good day to begin a holiday. I always imagine that Jesus said those words very gently and indulgently to Martha: “Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things, and yet only one is necessary.” I imagine him saying them to me now, as I

It has been a weekend of ordinations and First Masses. Our diocese has three new priests, praise God. The first Mass of a newly ordained priest is always a joyful occasion, but especially in an age like our own, which has a phobia of commitment and sees a lifetime choice first in terms of what
