From the Chaplain
I love weddings: the joy and exuberance of the day, being together with family or friends, enjoying good food and wine. Jesus seemed to like weddings too, his first miracle was at a wedding and he used the wedding feast many times in his teaching. It reminds us, among other things, that the kingdom of God is meant to be fun!

Prayer
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore You,
a heart to delight in You,
to follow and to enjoy You,
for Christ’s sake.
(St Ambrose of Milan)
