Just to remind you . . .

. . . that today is the first Feast of Blessed John Henry Newman : so a Happy Feastday to you all.

Do let me encourage you to visit one of the Oratories today, where I imagine you will be able to hear the appropriate Mass, meditate upon his motto Cor ad Cor Loquitur . . . and with luck also be able to pick up a set of propers (both of Office and Mass) for future use.

Deus, qui beátum Ioánnem Henrícum, presbýterum,
lumen benígnum tuum sequéntem
pacem in Ecclésia tua inveníre contulísti,
concéde propítius,
ut, eius intercessióne et exémplo,
ex umbris et imagínibus
in plenitúdinem veritátis tuae perducámur.
Per Dominum.

(COLLECT
O God, who bestowed on the Priest Blessed John Henry Newman the grace to follow your kindly light and find peace in your Church; graciously grant that, through his intercession and example, we may be led out of shadows and images into the fulness of your truth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.)
