Reformation Saints - London

[Kate Jackson]

Yesterday (Friday 12th Feb) on the feast of the venerable George Haydock (PPR Tyburn Martyr - 1584) I went with Elizabeth, my Canadian friend, to Tyburn Convent, just a short way from Marble Arch,  where the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Monmatre live out a life of constant Adoration of the Holy Eucharist.  There I met some old friends including Philip Efans a reformation saint of Cardiff of a previous pilgrimage. The timing was all so appropriate I had just finished my first 9 Fridays. St Michael's had just completed it's first all night adorations in some time. Part of the hanging drawing and quartering process ended with the separation of the heart from the body so one of the Carthusians who had a deep devotion to the Heart of Jesus pierced by the spear of St. Longinus said,  "Lord, do what you will with my heart"

It was rather nice to speculate on the fact that two of the boys who accompanied us on that pilgrimage shared the names of that saint, and had finished the St John Bosco Novena who had the vision of Our Lady and the Holy Eucharist as a means of navigating for end time.

Please pray particularly for those of us who have suffered for the True Mass.

Yours in Christ
