The first point to observe when speaking of Christian Unity is that God is always working for unity; it follows, therefore, that if we are working against unity we are opposing God’s purposes, no matter how admirable our aims may seem to be. Secondly, however, diversity is difficult; there has never been a time when…
Diana Klein was also a regular visitor to St Joseph’s College and a cherished friend of many students. We met the White Fathers (a group of missionaries) in the late 1980’s when we became friends with several of the students and staff at St Edward’s in Totteridge. Over the next 10 years we travelled around…

There is nothing wrong with enjoying Christmas, or indeed with a little over-indulgence. At any rate, there is nothing Christian about embodiments of Scrooge masquerading as piety. What matters is that we remember why we are enjoying it. We’re not, or not chiefly, remembering a past event. We’re sharpening our hope and expectation of how…
For Christmas this year, Jesuit students in Rome recorded the carol “Silent Night” in their own languages: English, Portuguese, Bengali, Polish and Vietnamese. Join our scholastics and celebrate a joyful Christmas 2021!
Wishing a truly Luminous Christmas to all visitors – regular and occasional – to this website of the Mill Hill Missionaries. And may Peace be yours in abundance in the New Year. God has come. God is there in the world. And therefore everything is different from what we imagine it to be. . ….
John Wijngaards has set himself a challenging task. He has lived a full and fascinating life. He tells his story with a luxury of detail. It is obvious he is telling it ‘like it is’, or was. For any Catholic who has lived the experience of post-Vatican II, his book is a significant contribution to…
We have become used to parallel Christmases, Family Gatherings and Festive Good Cheer alongside Christmas Cribs and Nativity Plays. We’ve learned to enjoy both, though with a growing sense of unease at the widening gap opening up between them. It has become harder to ignore the poor and the homeless on our doorstep and across…

The sense of resignation widely felt in the wake of COP26 induces hopelessness. Why can’t we mobilise ourselves? In this powerful lecture, given in Leeds Cathedral on 22. November, Dr Carmody Grey argues that…
On Sunday 28th November we will celebrate the beginning of another liturgical year with the First Sunday of Advent. Advent is a time of waiting, a time of hope, in which we prepare ourselves to welcome once again the birth of Jesus in the mystery of the Incarnation, Jesus the Light of the World, Jesus…
On hearing about Hans Wijngaards’ new book, ‘Ten Commandments for Church Reform’, I immediately ordered it and, on receiving it, I could hardly put it down ( I love to read autobiographies! ) and I was so grateful and delighted to read his personal memoirs from his early life to the present day and especially…
