Beatification of Cardinal Newman
Arriving in Scotland on the first leg of his visit to Great Britain, Pope Benedict appealed for preservation of the country's long Christian tradition and warned against "aggressive" forms of secularism and atheism The most historic engagement of Popes visit will be this Sunday Morning when he visits Birmingham to beatify Cardinal Newman the first step towards being made a saint the event it will be televised at 10am on RTE 1 also on, SKY News and BBC. Deacon Jack Sullivan of Massachusetts whose healing from a crippling spinal condition in August 2001 was the miracle that allowed for Cardinal Newman's beatification, will read the Gospel during the beatification Mass today in Birmingham. Newman believed one has to follow ones own conscience to establish the truth. He always put the truth first. Pope Benedict and many others have been influenced by Newman. He was a man of the highest intellectual capacity and the highest integrity – a saintly man.
Cardinal Newmans Prayer for A Holy Rest: O Lord support us all the day long Until the evening comes. The shadows lengthen and the busy world is hushed, The fever of life is over and our work is done. Then Lord in your Mercy, Give us a safe lodging, A Holy rest and peace at the last. Amen.
