Read the Archbishop's sermon at Solemn Vespers in Celebration of the Canonisation of Cardinal Newman at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday 19th October 2019.
A Solemn Pontifical Mass in honour of St John Henry Newman was celebrated at the London Oratory by Cardinal Cardinal Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, on Thursday, 17 October. Father Ignatius Harrison, Provost of the Birmingham Oratory delivered the following homily:
By Dr Paul Shrimpton Seventy-six years ago, on 18 February 1943, Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie were caught distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Munich University. Five days later they were tried and executed for high treason on Hitler’s direct orders. The Scholls belonged to a group of students who spoke out against National Socialism and circulated thousands of leaflets telling Germans of their moral duty to resist Hitler and his ‘atheistic war machine’.
By Isaac Withers What a profound and powerful few days. For English Catholics, for Catholics worldwide, and for admirers of Newman from other churches and beyond. John Henry Newman is now St. John Henry Newman, and that simply sounds right. I would like here to just give a few closing thoughts on the experience from the team that has been working on the Newman Canonisation since the date was announced back in June. Over those months, a team was pulled together that worked with a fairly constant pace and over that time we were immersed in all things Newman, living and breathing him. Here are just a few reflections on that experience, both to give you a sense of what it was like to be somewhat ‘inside’ the canonisation and for us to attempt to process what happened.
