Quote for the Day


Not unconnected with today's Gospel, a predecessor of mine Fr David Maskell, would often say,

"Mankind cries out in the wilderness for Living Bread and we give them candyfloss instead!"

Fr Blake.. possibly off-topic (or possibly not), can I draw attention to the fact that EWTN has moved to channel 589, and is no opnger on 789. It took me a while to re-locate it, so if anyone's missing it, it`s still there. (Fr Groeschel is doing great on Humane Vitae right now, on Sunday Night Live. Talk about being fed in my faith. Thank god for EWTN.)

Fr Tim.. can I draw attention to the fact that EWTN, formerly on channel 789 has moved to channel 589. It helps a lot of us in our faith and some people may not realize it has moved. I thought it had disappeared until I flicked around and found it again tonight. As it is such a good resource, if at times a bit cheesy (Could someone throttle Raymond Arroyo please) It`s worth pointing out its new home. Fr Groeschel is doing brilliantly right now on Sunday Night Live, explaining Humane Vitae. It is such a breath of fresh air. I even forgive Raymond Arroyo.
