Thought for the day: The five senses enable us to engage with others, with the world and with reality in general. We realise their significance when for whatever reason our senses no longer “work” as well as before. The senses are also used in a transferred meaning, especially hearing and seeing, to point to faith. Hence it is that at Baptism a special and quite beautiful prayer is said over the newly baptised. It is prayer we can use again and again all our lives. Prayer: (from the rite of Baptism) The Lord Jesus made the deaf hear and the dumb speak. May he soon touch your ears to receive his word, and your mouth to proclaim his faith, to the praise and glory of God the Father. Amen.

Pope Francis on X: I remain close to the martyred Ukrainian people, who have been severely affected by attacks on energy infrastructure. Let us remember that the voice of the innocent is always heard by God, who is never indifferent to their suffering!

Pope’s Intentions for September: We pray that each one of us will hear and take to heart the cry of the earth and of victims of natural disasters and climactic change, and that all will undertake to personally care for the world in which we live.
