There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.
Sir Winston Churchill

English Anthem Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.
I shall not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green & pleasant land.

(William Blake)

Our Lady Help of Christians

AUSTRALIA’S PATRON SAINT

LAST Thursday, the Catholic bishops of Australia held a special ceremony at St Mary’s cathedral in Sydney to renew the patronage of the Virgin Mary under the title “Mary Help of Christians” as the Patron Saint of Australia.
The Australian bishops decided that the Centenary of Federation and the beginning of the new millennium provided a good occasion to renew Australia’s devotion to Mary Help of Christians.

Australias own Patron Saint ...wonder what her day is ???!
