.Buon Proseguimento
We move now from the gold of the Christmas season to the green of continued growth and the promise of longer and brighter days and the eventual arrival of spring warmth.The so called ‘Ordinary season’ is of course far from ordinary as it is filled with the everyday opportunities to deepen our appreciation of the presence of Christ and our attentiveness to the needs of his people.
Having prepared for and celebrated the Feasts of the Christmas Season, we now reflect upon how we can put this great message of God-with-us into the practical events of each passing hour, each passing day.
Saint Justin once referred to the homily at Mass as an opportunity to ‘instruct and exhort to imitation of the good things heard [in the Scriptures]’.
May each day be for us an opportunity to enter more deeply into the good things of God’s kindness to us – and an invitation to imitate them by thought, word and deed.
Buon Proseguimento – a good continuation of your year.

It was specially prepared for them by Beda student Matthew Bond and presented by the Rector. Links between Mater Dei Convent and the Catholic Church in England go back a long way. An article with the full story is on the history page..Read More
