On Wednesday, we celebrate the feast of St Bridget of Sweden, one of the six patrons of Europe, alongside St Benedict, St Thérèse of Lisieux, St Catherine, St Cyril and St Methodius. As we are encouraged to pray not only for ourselves and our loved ones but for the whole world, let us pray for Europe, that God's love may once more touch the hearts of all who dwell here.

I had a lovely break spending some time at home with my family and also on the island of Rhodes. It was a pleasure to visit the Franciscans and the small Catholic community. I prayed for you all during my visits to the church and Mass there. Thank you to Fr Tom and Fr Johnson for their work here while I was away. Fr Tom is away right now, but will return shortly. For many more of us now, I know that the summer holidays begin in earnest. For all of you travelling or going on holiday, I wish you and your family every blessing for a safe journey and a happy time!

The Gospel this Sunday speaks of the Word of God as the seed of eternal life, and Christ warns against the ways in which this seed can be stifled. Though many areas of life are winding down as we approach summer, may our relationship with the Word never dwindle, and may we keep our ears open to the voice of the Lord.
