Forming mature men for priesthood
As we enter the ‘counting season’ (ordinal/ordinary time) and the white vestments give way to the green of continued growth, College life returns to a regular timetable – at least for a few weeks. Come the end of the month we enter into the examination week which is followed by a short break and then a period of recollection and retreat for all the year groups. That will mark the end of the first Semester - and the realisation that the Beda year is almost half-way through!
The Vatican Council document on the Church in the Modern World speaks of joys and hopes, griefs and anxieties - and all our lives bear the marks of the ebb and flow of these emotions. Both as individuals and as communities may the coming months bring us the grace of a healthy balance and so help us grow in the knowledge and love and service of the Lord and His people.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace.
(The Book of Numbers 6; 24-26)Buon Anno
Father Philip

January 19Beda staff and students started the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity last night by attending Papal Vespers at St Paul's Basilica. Pope Francis presided at the prayer, accompanied by leaders from many other Christian denominations. This evening we have our own Unity Service in the college chapel where the preacher will be Fr John O'Toole, National Ecumenical Office for England and Wales. A good attendance by members of other Christian denominations living in Rome is expected and the Service will be followed by a celebration meal.
