Mass.
   The Feast of the Nativity of Our Lady marks the beginning of the New Covenant, the Kingdom of God.
   Since we are sons of Our Lady, on this day, we can ask of her for special graces. Many mystics, who had visions of Our Lady, said that, on her feast days, she visits Purgatory. There she releases a great number of souls, whom she takes back with her to Heaven. What happens with the Church Suffering, gives us an idea of what takes place with the Church Militant. On a feast, like today, her grace envelops us, and gains innumerable favours for us.

After community Mass, Fr. Nivard set off for the National Express and travel to Mount Saint Bernard. It will be a time to meet up with the other Bamenda (Cameroon) monks at present at MSB for much needed medical care.
Nivard was, as it were, bearing gifts in the form of a large guitar. No doubt it will contribute therapy to the patients.
