<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is International Women's Day (8 March), which is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the Shrine of Saint Jude, we have some beautiful icons of just a few of the great female Carmelite Saints, as well as various images of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, our mother and sister.</div>
<br />
Read about these women, below..<br />
<br />
<b>Our Lady of Mount Carmel</b><br />
<br />
The 1995 Constitutions of the Carmelite Friars summarise the importance of Mary in Carmelite spirituality today:<br />
<br />
<i>"Mary, overshadowed by the Spirit of God, is the Virgin of a new heart, who gave a human face to the Word made flesh. She is the Virgin of wise and contemplative listening who kept and pondered in her heart the events and the words of the Lord. She is the faithful disciple of wisdom, who sought Jesus - God’s Wisdom - and allowed herself to be formed and moulded by his Spirit, so that in faith she might be conformed to his ways and choices. Thus enlightened, Mary is presented to us as one able to read “the great wonders” which God accomplished in her for the salvation of the humble and of the poor.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Mary was not only the Mother of Our Lord; she also became his perfect disciple, the woman of faith. She followed Jesus, walking with the disciples, sharing their demanding and wearisome journey - a journey which required, above all, fraternal love and mutual service.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Mary brings the good news of salvation to all men and women. She is the woman who built relationships, not only within the inner circle of Jesus’ disciples, but, beyond that, with the people: with Elizabeth, with the bride and bridegroom in Cana, with the other women, and with Jesus’ “brothers”.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Carmelites see in the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and archetype of the Church, the perfect image of all that they want and hope to be. For this reason, Carmelites have always thought of Mary as the Patron of the Order, its Mother and Splendour; she is constantly before their eyes and in their hearts as “the Virgin Most Pure.” Looking to her, and living in spiritual intimacy with her, we learn to stand before God, and with one another, as the Lord’s brothers. Mary lives among us, as mother and sister, attentive to our needs; along with us she waits and hopes, suffers and rejoices."</i><br />

<br />
In the outer shrine area is a beautiful stained glass window of Mary and the Christ Child with the Holy Spirit. The window was executed by the artist, Richard Joseph King.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP4yHo56QNjxOC3BXzEQJv2OBsUWhRroWN9Bz8Fe46VN_jhMO62sGtmSY93_SWQ6nwqFeURwXvFhGnVY8pwiZZbTnKN4v3L71YFgq-zOP5YjNfWHGGRE649zn7ibOPYYMiD20APpAsi8M/s1600/shrine_mary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="753" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP4yHo56QNjxOC3BXzEQJv2OBsUWhRroWN9Bz8Fe46VN_jhMO62sGtmSY93_SWQ6nwqFeURwXvFhGnVY8pwiZZbTnKN4v3L71YFgq-zOP5YjNfWHGGRE649zn7ibOPYYMiD20APpAsi8M/s320/shrine_mary.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The serpent behind is seen as a reference to domination over evil. The serpent and the crescent shape of half moon just visible at the bottom right of the window signify Mary's Immaculate Conception. King was interested in the close relationship of Mary and Christ. The importance of the Holy Spirit is shown in the circular shape of the wings of the dove surrounding the heads of Mary and Christ and the rays which come down from heaven. The red cross against the white background in Christ's halo is a reference to his cross and resurrection. The cross and M seen in the front of the Christ Child are symbols of Mary and Christ.<br />
<br />
In the Shrine chapel, the triple light at the back of it depicts Our Lady of Mount Carmel (with the Scapular in her hand) and the Christ-Child with a scapular and dove, with attendant angels on a rainbow. The rainbow imagery here refers to the Old Testament story of Noah in the Book of Genesis. The dove seen above the hands of the Christ Child, could again refer to the dove bringing the olive leaf to Noah, but Christ is also seen as the bringer of peace.

<br />
On the side walls of the Shrine chapel are the icons of Carmelite saints.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Blessed Frances D'Amboise</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
One of the icons is of <a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.org.uk/about/tour-national-shrine"><b>Blessed Frances D'Amboise</b></a>, who was born in 1427, probably at Thouars, France. At fifteen years of age, she was married to Peter II, Duke of Brittany and crowned with him in the cathedral at Rennes in 1450. She was widowed in 1457 and, not wanting a second marriage, she turned towards religious life. For this purpose, she built a Carmel for sisters at Bondon in 1463 following the advice of Blessed John Soreth, Prior General of the Carmelites.<br />

<br />
<b>Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross</b><br />
<br />
The second icon is of <b><a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.org.uk/about/tour-national-shrine">Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross</a></b> (Edith Stein), Carmelite nun, martyr, and patron of Europe.<br />
<br />
Edith Stein was born to a Jewish family at Breslau on 12th October 1891. Through her passionate study of philosophy she searched after truth and found it in reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Jesus. In 1922 she was baptised and in 1933 she entered the monastery of Discalced Carmelite nuns in Cologne where she took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. During the Second World War Edith was sheltered from the Nazi persecution of Jews at the Carmel in Echt, Holland. Because of her refusal to deny her Jewish heritage or abandon her sister who was sheltering in the same Carmel, Edith was deported, gassed and cremated at Auschwitz concentration camp on 9th August 1942 and died a martyr for the Christian faith after having offered her holocaust for the people of Israel. A woman of singular intelligence and learning, she left behind a large body of writing notable for its doctrinal richness and profound spirituality. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II at Cologne on 1st May 1987, and canonised by him in 1998. In 1999 she was declared one of the six patron saints of Europe.<br />

<br />
We pray for all Carmelite women today and in the past. Thank you.<br />
<br />
Amen.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">From 20 - 22 January, Mr Matthew Betts, Development Manager at the Shrine, walked from Westminster Abbey in London to Rochester Cathedral in Kent on a belated sponsored walk. The walk is to raise funds for the Order of Carmelites for their important work in the UK and abroad. </span></div>
<br />
If you would like to sponsor Matt, please visit our page, <a href="https://mydonate.bt.com/events/stjudewalk/473656" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Matt followed the old pilgrimage route as outlined in the recent works of Rev John N Merrill who sets out an excellent path from London via Gravesend to Rochester. It is a pilgrimage route full of history, wonder and beauty. Matt was also very lucky, as although it was cold, it did not rain! Rain always makes it much harder to walk!<br />
<br />
Matt started at Westminster Abbey. The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The church was begun by Henry III in 1245 and it is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart, Saint Edward the Confessor. The walk from here is full of history: Matt passed 10 Downing Street; the Cenotaph; before arriving at Trafalgar Square. Afterwards, Matt continued down the Strand, and passed the impressive St Mary le Strand church and the RAF church, Saint Clements Danes (not always RAF, Matt's 17/18th century ancestors worshipped here).<br />

Matt then continued to the great Saint Paul's Cathedral. Saint Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London and the mother church of the Diocese of London. It sits on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London and is a Grade I listed building. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. The present cathedral, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren after the original was burned down in the Great Fire of London in 1666.<br />

..and then kept walking along the river until he reached Southwark Cathedral (built in 1106). Matt then kept walking along the river to see views of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London until much later, reaching Greenwich. This is not the last time, the Thames will be seen.<br />
<br />
On the route from Greenwich to Gravesend, there are some wonderful sites to see, including the view from the Old Observatory (see below); All Saints Church, Blackheath; and a particular favourite, Christ Church in Bexleyheath. At Christ Church, there were originally stained-glass windows depicting six apostles (though not Jude) and the intention had been to add the other six. However, and unfortunately, money ran out, and the six that had been added were destroyed in bombing during World War 2. It is a beautiful church and it is a good place to stop.<br />

After three more hours of walking, Matt arrived in Gravesend. There are many historical buildings in this town and it is a good place to stop for some lunch. From Gravesend, Matt walked along the River Thames until eventually reaching the towpath of the former Thames and Medway Canal (which was opened in 1824). The road walking was over (ish).<br />

This towpath follows the railway for a long time and is stunning countryside. The Thames and Medway Canal is a disused canal and was originally some 11 km (6.8 mi) long and cut across the neck of the Hoo peninsula, linking the River Thames at Gravesend with the River Medway at Strood.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Matt then arrived at Saint Mary's Church in Church Street (see below). This church dates from the 14th Century and was near a Priory of Benedictine Nuns. The Priory was one of the first to be dissolved under King Henry VIII in 1521. </span></div>

Finally, Matt reached Rochester by crossing the bridge from Strood. Rochester is at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway and is about 30 miles (though not when walking!) from London.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Rochester was for many years a favourite of Charles Dickens, who owned nearby Gads Hill Place, Higham, basing many of his novels on the area. The Diocese of Rochester, the second oldest in England, is centred on Rochester Cathedral and was responsible for the founding of a school, now The King's School in 604 AD, which is recognised as being the second oldest continuously running school in the world. Rochester Castle, built by Bishop Gundulf of Rochester, has one of the best preserved keeps in either England or France, and during the First Barons' War (1215–1217) in King John's reign, baronial forces captured the castle from Archbishop Stephen Langton and held it against the king, who then besieged it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

For the third year in a row, and thanks to all those people who write to us, we were able to send many postal stamps to another charity to help them in their work. We have recently received a letter from the charity KICKS COUNT thanking the Shrine for all the stamps we donated just before Christmas.<br />

Unfortunately, in May 2018, a storm caused massive damage to the suspended ceiling in the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. To rectify the damage and prevent further issues from occurring the church is currently going through major renovations. The Parish Priest, Fr Brendan Grady, O.Carm has recently shared some photos.<br />

Today is marked as #GivingTuesday, which is a global day of giving. After the sales of the weekend, #GivingTuesday is an opportunity to come together to show the world why it’s good to give. Whether it’s making a donation, volunteering your time or just spreading the word at the start of the Christmas shopping season, #GivingTuesday is a call to action for everyone who wants to give something back.<br />
<br />
Donations to the Carmelites enable us to support our ministries in the UK, and to support many special causes around the world.<br />
<br />
The Carmelite Charitable Trust has always supported the various Carmelite Missions in the developing world and would like to continue to do so. In particular, we try to support the establishment and growth of the Order’s mission areas. In 2018 - 2019, and with your help, the Carmelite Charitable Trust has supported communities in Colombia, East Timor and Kenya:<br />
<br />
In <b>Colombia</b>, the British Province have committed to building extra classrooms for the high school that the local Carmelites run in the country; for <b>East Timor</b>, we have pledged £25,000 per year to support the training programme for young Carmelite friars; and in <b>Kenya</b>, we plan to donate a minibus to help in their work travelling to the numerous rural Christian communities.<br />

Dear Friend of Saint Jude,<br />
<br />
This year for Christmas I wanted to write a more personal letter to you as a supporter of the Carmelites in Britain and in particular of the Shrine of Saint Jude. As you can see, the usual novena leaflet and intention form is still here – but no Newsletter! Instead I would like to send you this letter for Christmas!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
First, I want to share with you something of how the Feast day weekend went in October. There was great support from many friends of Saint Jude on both days. The Saturday (27th) was a fine day, but cold. As you may know, the roof in the main church has partially collapsed and so we were unable to use it at all. Fortunately, the shrine below was unaffected and could still....<br />

<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
We are just back from our first ever pilgrimage to Canterbury. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At 1pm, we were met by our coach. The coach took us along the old pilgrimage route from Faversham via Harbledown, and then we reached the Westgate of Canterbury. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We arrived at the Cathedral just before 2pm, and were welcomed by two vergers and Fr Jim Rosenthal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mass was celebrated in the beautiful crypt - the first location of the Shrine of Saint Thomas Becket before it was moved upstairs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fr Kevin Alban celebrated Mass with Fr Ged Walsh proclaiming the Gospel. Christine Duckworth-Patterson read the first reading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Afterwards, we joined many other people in the Evensong celebration, and enjoyed the most beautiful singing and music. This was followed by prayer at the former shrine of Saint Thomas Becket which is overlooked by the tombs of the Black Prince and King Henry IV of England. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once we caught our coach from outside the city walls, the pilgrimage got back to Faversham and stopped at the beautiful Saint Mary's Church in the town. We were welcomed by Catriona Cuthbert, the Parish Administrator who told us about the history of this beautiful church.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have a wonderful day. Thank you to all the pilgrims who joined us; thank you too to Fr Kevin Alban, Prior Provincial for leading, and to Fr Ged Walsh and Br Tony O'Donnell for joining us. We prayed for all friends of Saint Jude today and left the intentions at the Shrine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Saint Jude, pray for us. Saint Thomas of Canterbury, pray for us.<br />
<br />

<br />
At 1pm today, the Shrine of Saint Jude will heading on its first ever pilgrimage to Canterbury.<br />
<br />
Canterbury has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club.<br />
<br />
We will be heading to one of the most famous cathedrals in the world: Canterbury Cathedral.<br />
<br />
If you would like us to leave a petition at the Shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, <a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.co.uk/virtual-candle" target="_blank">please visit our page</a>.<br />
<br />
Founded in 597, Canterbury Cathedral was completely rebuilt from 1070 to 1077. The east end was greatly enlarged at the beginning of the twelfth century, and largely rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174, with significant eastward extensions to accommodate the flow of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, the archbishop who was murdered in the cathedral in 1170.<br />
<br />
On our arrival, Mass will be celebrated by Fr Kevin Alban, O.Carm, Prior Provincial with Fr Ged Walsh, O.Carm. Afterwards, we will be visiting where the old Shrine of Saint Thomas Becket stood before it was destroyed (pictured) and then we'll take a look at where he was murdered.<br />
<br />
We will then be off to some more pilgrimage stops on the way back to Faversham.<br />
<br />
Saint Jude, pray for us; Saint Thomas Becket, pray for us<br />

This year Remembrance Sunday is also the centenary of Armistice Day, 11 November 1918, which marked the end of "The Great War".<br />
<br />
On this day are remembered all those who gave their lives for their country, all who suffered and died through acts of war, and those who were left behind to grieve and mourn.<br />
<br />
We pray for all those who have died through war or acts of violence in defence of our country; may we never forget their sacrifice.<br />
<br />
We pray for peace and reconciliation between nations,<br />
that enemies may put aside all differences.<br />
<br />
We pray for those who continue to die in wars today, and pledge ourselves to work for peace and reconciliation.<br />
<br />
O God, merciful and strong,<br />
who crushes wars and casts down the proud,<br />
be pleased to banish violence swiftly from our midst<br />
and to wipe away all tears,<br />
so that we may all truly deserve<br />
to be called your children.<br />
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.<br />
[Roman Missal]<br />

Today is All Souls Day and the start of our Holy Souls Society - praying for the dead.<br />
<br />
The month of November is traditionally devoted to praying for the dead, especially those we have known and loved. These people are still very present to us in our daily lives. The second Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Manning, had been married as an Anglican clergyman. When his wife died he became a Catholic priest. Every night he would kneel by his bed and take a photo of his dead wife from under his pillow and say his prayers with her. They are not gone, only in another place…<br />
<br />
For many years, the National Shrine of Saint Jude has promoted the Carmelite devotion to the souls of the departed by establishing a Dead List that is renewed each year. Add names, <a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.org.uk/news/holy-souls-society-2018" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
"Eternal rest grant unto them , O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace."<br />

Our first ever pilgrimage to Canterbury will be taking place on 17 November 2018. All welcome! Please let us know: <a href="mailto:shrineoffice@stjudeshrine.org.uk">shrineoffice@stjudeshrine.org.uk</a> or 01795 539 214<br />
<br />
The pilgrimage will be led by Fr Kevin Alban, O.Carm, who will celebrate mass at Canterbury Cathedral. We will be leaving the Shrine of Saint Jude at around 1pm on a coach. We will then stop at important pilgrimage sites on the way back to Faversham.<br />
<br />
If you can't attend - would you like us to light you a candle at the Shrine of Saint Thomas Becket? You can light a candle, <a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.co.uk/virtual-candle" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Why not read Matt's article on Canterbury Cathedral and join us in prayer. Read, <a href="http://nationalshrinesaintjudefaversham.blogspot.com/2017/07/pilgrim-visits-from-faversham-part-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

In the run up to our Feast of Saint Jude celebrations, we are very happy to reproduce part of Fr Kevin Alban's recent letter to the friends of Saint Jude about this great saint. A saint of hope.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This year we shall be celebrating <a href="http://www.stjudeshrine.org.uk/events/feast-saint-jude-2018" target="_blank">over the weekend of 27 and 28 October</a>. We are all looking forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to join us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Compared with Saint Peter or Saint Andrew, we know very little about Saint Jude really, but we do know one of the most important things of all: that he was called by Jesus to be one of the Twelve Apostles. I want to reflect a little on this so that we can see better who Saint Jude was as one of the closest followers of Jesus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, there are two versions of his name: Thaddeus in Mark and Matthew and Judas son of James in Luke. Sometimes we put these two names together “Jude Thaddeus”, but that’s just our best guess!! Maybe he was one of those apostles who stayed in the background, quietly working for the kingdom, as many people do. Maybe his exact name is not important: what is more significant is that he was a follower of the Lord. The only name that matters is that of Jesus Christ. Saint Jude has plenty to teach us in his silence and shadowy identity: it’s not about us, it’s about the Kingdom…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, instead of singling out apostles by name, we can focus on the group of twelve as a whole. It seems clear that Jesus chose these men specifically and deliberately: “I have called you, not you me”, he says quite severely almost. This also points to a fundamental truth in our lives that we owe everything to the Lord, that we cannot be anything without him. The number of apostles is important too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These twelve men are called to sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. In Jesus’ time the twelve tribes no longer existed, but their image exercised a powerful influence over the hopes and aspirations of the people. One of the signs of the restoration of Israel would be the renewal of the twelve tribes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This reference to the reawakening and regathering of the people would have been instantly comprehensible to those who saw the twelve apostles. So Saint Jude has a significant part to play in the expectation of the coming of God’s kingdom as part of the symbolic group of twelve around Jesus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The role of the apostles was also to be the closest group around Jesus and to bear witness to his teaching and ministry. Their closeness to Jesus meant that they were able to receive a more detailed explanation of Jesus’ instruction and to ask questions of him. They had a deep and close relationship with the Lord, sharing everything and conversing with him on all sorts of subjects. They enjoyed exactly the relationship that Saint Teresa of Avila describes when she describes prayer as nothing more than a conversation with the one who loves us most. Saint Jude is one who can show us what it means to have a prayerful life with Jesus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the Acts of the Apostles we see this group of twelve in the period after the Resurrection and then Ascension of Jesus. The idea of “twelve” is so important for the early Church that the eleven apostles surviving after the departure of Judas Iscariot wanted to find a replacement to bring the number up to twelve again. A key quality they looked for in the “new” member was that he should be one who had accompanied Jesus on his mission and been a witness to it. The point here is that the twelve represented an extension and a continuation of Jesus’ ministry. These apostles were the foundations of what we call the Church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, the Acts of the Apostles tells us a lot about their work, including Saint Jude. They attended temple worship and prayed together at home, “breaking bread” as a sign of their unity. They preached and taught, provoking the opposition and hostility of the Jewish authorities. They attended to the needy and those on the edges of society, setting up what we would call a solidarity fund to help the poor from their own resources. They worked various “signs and wonders” among the people. They were sensitive to the ethnic composition of the community and rebalanced their ministry to take account of those who felt overlooked or unvalued. </div>

So even if we don’t have very much information about Saint Jude directly, we can build an impressive picture of him as one of the twelve apostles: the Lord’s companion and witness, foundation of the Church, preacher and teacher, helper of the poor and under-privileged… maybe we know quite a lot after all.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saint Jude, pray for us.<br />
