Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.
October is the month of the Rosary and it’s swiftly drawing to it’s end, that doesn’t mean, however that we have 11 Rosary-free months!
Moneybags has a great blog about the Rosary that you might want to view if you’d like to learn more about praying it.
Enjoy!

Oh Cult! Part 6 of Many Part’s.
It was my first time in Coventry, and it was immediately clear to all that I was a ‘witnessing’ virgin. Yes, so much for not having to do anything. I was asked to pray over people in the name of the Lord! I didn’t actually say anything as such, but placed my hands above the [...]

Last Christmas I bought my parents the gift of a goat. This year they’re either going to get a toilet or some chickens.

Oh -Cult. Part 5 of Many Parts
If there was one thing I was quickly to learn, it was that the Jesus Army was like a dog with a bone. Once it had got it’s teeth into you it wasn’t going to let you go without a fight. For the next couple of weeks though I did everything I could to stay [...]

St. Patrick Not a Favourite in Ireland?
According to accumulated votes on the Gerry Ryan Radio Show , St Patrick is not the nations favourite Saint at all!
Incredibly, two as yet uncanonised Saints were most enthusiastically voted for, Pope John Paul II and the Venerable Matt Talbot
Other Saints voted for in Ireland’s Top Ten are their female patron saint, St. Brigid, [...]

I haven’t written about this [...]

Ok, Help, I Have a Log in my Eye!
Funny thing happened this morning. After we had lit our candles at the Chapel of Our Lady and knelt to pray for our Holy Mother’s intercession, we all retired to our usual pew and knelt to pray for a few moments before Mass. My prayers were the usual ones too…amongst other things, I prayed for [...]

Oh-Cult. Part Three of Many Part’s.
I was unfamiliar with the part of the City that Fleur drove me to later that week. I don’t know what I had expected, perhaps a community centre gathering, or a make-do church of some kind. When we pulled into the drive of an enormous victorian 4 story building I was bowled over. Was this [...]
