About Me
- Joanna Bogle
- Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance. Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
God bless our new Pope Francis

Good Morning Auntie Joanna!
What a pleasure to view Seasons and Feasts on EWTN with yourself as mine very genial host! And in your Guernsey, too - my native isle.
I didn't know that Christmas pud is known as plum pudding because of its colour rather than its contents - so thank you for that.
In return, I'll share with you that Stir Up sunday is actually the Sunday next BEFORE Advent, the collect for that day being the wonderful
Stir up, O Lord,
the wills of your faithful people
that, richly bearing the fruit of good works,
they may by you be richly rewarded;
through Jesus Christ our Lord
who is alive with with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen

Will EWTN repeat the programme? I'd love to use parts of it in my RE lessons. The kids will enjoy it!
Best wishes
Auntie Fran
Pity Steyn left the Catholic church for Anglicanism. Perhaps he may see the light sooner rather than later...
