A glorious day, today ...

... the eleventh Anniversary of Anglicanorum coetibus, the first successful initiative in the field of Christian Unity since, I think, some Eastern Rite Christians in India entered into Full Communion with the See of S Peter in the 1930s. (Orthodox may, of course, see things differently!) Or have I forgotten somebody ...

God bless our former Holy Father Joseph Ratzinger; and I ask your prayers for the Three Ordinariates. And for all who are in the process of joining them

And those who are contemplating doing so. 

I shall wrie a little more about the Anglican Patrimony on November 9, dies obitus of John Richards, First Bishop of Ebbsfleet.

As a cradle Catholic, of Anglican convert parents, I have prayed the Prayer for England at almost every Benediction in my life, never thinking that “ with us in the one true fold” would ever be a reality. And now it is, thanks to God through a wonderful Pope!
