St Enoch
Today we celebrate the feast of one of Glasgows very own saints – St Enoch
St Enoch is not only a Glaswegian saint but also a pro-life saint.
She is known as “Scotland’s first recorded rape victim, battered woman and unmarried mother”. A princess thrown out by her father because of her pregnancy, she was rescued by St Serf, the leader of a monastery. She not only survived in some of the most difficult circumstances but went on to raise her son to be a saint. How can we not be inspired by her strength, courage and love.
In Smug’s mural on George Street, we see a modern-day interpretation of St Enoch cradling St Mungo. Captured on an ordinary Glasgow street is the love of a mother for her child regardless of the hardship she has faced.

Thank You
We have put our time during lockdown to good use !!!
We have finally finished sorting out our downstairs storeroom!!!
There are a few people without whom this would not have been possible and so we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you.
Thank you to the Beating Heart Group from Linlithgow for their very generous donation of our lovely new shelves, in particular Angela Hughes, Eddie Love and Stephen Gallagher.
We would also like to thank the volunteers from Glasgow Students for Life for giving up a weekend to help us build the shelves pre-lockdown.
And most of all our thanks to the wonderful Lily Kearns for organising everything and giving up her time to help us make our plans for the room a reality.

The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
May we never be afraid to go to the Sacred Heart with any worries, fears and anxieties knowing that Jesus can calm them all.
O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, Good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.
