Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon him.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

 
John, Peter and James

I commend you, my dear brother John, to Almighty God,

and entrust you to His care.

May you return to Him who formed you from the dust of the earth.

May Holy Mary, and all the angels and saints come to meet you as you go forth from this life.

May Christ who was crucified for you bring you freedom and peace.

May we three brothers be together once more with our sister, Winona, 

And make music in Heaven.


Winona, James, John and Peter

    I'm so very so to hear this, Peter. I will pray for you all in my vigil tonight.

    O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant John in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which he has committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

    For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servant John who has fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

    Grant John, O Lord, memory eternal, and to his family, your comfort and the peace which passes all understanding.

    God our Father, your power brings us to birth, your providence guides our lives, and by your command we return to dust.

    My deepest sympathies, Jack.

    Very sad to hear this. Listening to Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus brought on a flood of emotion.

    And we will all miss Jack’s words of wisdom.

War Crimes and Genocide in Gaza?

By

Back in May 2024, the question was posed:  Has Israel lost the war against Hamas? To recap: Israel’s original intention for counter attacking Hamas - its  “jus ad bellum,”  - i.e. the conditions under which states resort to war - was to recue the hostages and also to eliminate Hamas because of its ongoing threat to Israel. It was not revenge for the horrors of October 7 th , 2023, although that was the immediate cause. It was about the damage that Hamas could do in the future given it stated intent to annihilate Israel. Is Israel aiming for a realistic, achievable goals? Rescuing hostages is a clear and potentially achievable end. But is eliminating Hamas possible? How do you reduce civilian casualties in the face of Hamas tactics? Is her present strategy producing more chaos? Is her approach encouraging future terrorist attacks on her. Is there an alternative approach? As the war goes on and civilian deaths rise, questions increasingly surface about Israel’s conduct ...

Gavin Ashenden Calls on King Charles to Abdicate

By

Gavin Ashenden, once Anglican chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, has suggested that King Charles should step down from the throne, since the king “thinks political correctness is loathsome and the Church of England is all bunkum.” “Charles, save your soul," says Gavin, " Become Orthodox, become Catholic, and hand that whole mess over to people who thrive on pantomime and fakery.” The reason for this?  When Charles acceded to the throne during his Coronation he swore, like 500 years of monarchs before him, to “maintain the Protestant Reformed religion established by law and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England.” As Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Charles' role as King is both a religious one and constitutional one.  Then ....  Last month a letter surfaced containing King Charles blunt criticism of the Church of England, as well as corporate capitalism in farming:  “It is money that drives everything and wisdom...

Black Friday - Assisted Suicide Passes Parliament

By

After a 5 hour debate, MPs voted in favour of legalising assisted suicide by 330 to 275 - a majority of 55. Christian Concern : Christian Concern has said the vote in favour of assisted dying marks a “very black Friday for the vulnerable in this country”.  Andrea Williams, the group’s chief executive, said: “Today is indeed a very black Friday for the vulnerable in this country, but this is not over. “The proposals in this dangerous Bill have been completely exposed. The proposed safeguards are completely meaningless, and more and more MPs are waking up to that reality.  “This Bill will create more suffering and chaos in the NHS, not less, and if it goes through, the vulnerable will become more vulnerable. “MPs are voting for the Bill at this stage in the hope that it will be fixed, however, the legislation is framed in a way that means it can’t be changed.  “It must be stopped at third reading, and we will not give up working to protect life and the most vulnerable ...
