My #church is doing this for people who might be grieving and dreading facing #Christmas2023 without a loved one who has died. Please come along or tell a friend if it will be helpful. We're based in #Wythenshawe but all are welcome.

I'm absolutely not above this. The only question that remains is whether to cook them before coating them in chocolate. #Halloween2023 #Brusselssprouts #trickortreat

By God's mercy, I have just celebrated my first #HolyWeek and #Pascha as a #priest. I have so many thoughts and feelings that I do not know how to express that I shall simply say, "Christ is Risen!" #PalmSunday #Easter #jesuschrist

Introducing The Mancunium Consort! We are a vocal ensemble based in Manchester, dedicated to bringing to life early choral music and widening the platform for young professional singers in the North. Here we are singing Thomas Tallis’ ‘If Ye Love Me’, recorded in Holy Name Church

After a visit to A&E and months of uncertainty, I've recently received a formal diagnosis for #asthma and I've been prescribed a new #inhaler. The #respiratory #nurse told me to make sure I use it religiously. Hopefully I should start to feel better soon.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff. Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

If we find ourselves about to ask others, "What have you given up for #Lent?" we should stop to think why we want to know. Idle curiosity is not a good reason to draw attention to the the private matter of someone's fasting & abstinence. Mat 6:16ff #Lent2023 #fasting #abstinence

'When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that people may not see that you are fasting.' - Jesus Christ The ashes go on the head; not on the face. #Lent #Lent2023 #AshWednesday #AshWednesday2023 #Ashes @MaltesersUK @maltesersusa

It is often when we are stripped of the luxuries and comforts of life that we are laid bare, and our hearts become open to love and generosity. If only it were easier to remember these things when the world showers its goods upon us!

We’ll always support NHS staff who fight against unfair working conditions Please RT if you will too Fair pay will help improve staff retention, increase the workforce size and boost morale Or in other words, benefit every single person who uses, or may need to use, the NHS

My first #DivineLiturgy for #Christmas as a priest - a #Mass I shall always remember with fondness and gratitude.

The media is refusing to report how bad the new anti-union laws will be. Unions could be forced to ask members to cross their own picket lines. And if they don’t, they’ll be sued into bankruptcy. That’s an attempt to destroy trade unions. https://t.co/0ABHB5gDNL

This has made me smile this morning.

I could even turn the heating on for five minutes a day and have enough left over for a Pot Noodle. Imagine! #lottery #CostOfLivingCrisis #gasprices #electricityprices

An early attempt at TikTok. One day perhaps I'll get the hang of it.

One of my favourite saints, (if I'm allowed to say that) is St John the Wonderworker. I would love to visit his shrine and venerate his relics one day.

A few thoughts about the subject of #death and how it is avoided in modern British society. #bereavement #passaway #grief #loss #funeral #requiem #dying #resurrection #hope #easter #pascha #hope #docetism #gnosticism https://t.co/qaT46R1Ojt

I am trying to keep a few plates spinning at the moment and am just managing to keep my head above the surface. My metaphors have never been more mixed. Jokes aside, there's much happening - it's mostly good but there's much of it. Please pray for me. #GodIsGood

A tribute to Boris "Pants-On-Fire" Johnson. #BorisJohnsonOut #BorisMustGo

...and ever give us cause to sing with heart and voice: God save the Queen!
