The 'Lantern' at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool.We've been over the border and up in Liverpool today to visit family and friends.
Liverpool has many world famous streets;
There is Hope Street which links the Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals and houses the renowned Philharmonic Hall and Pub, the Everyman Theatre and the old College of Art where John Lennon once studied.
Scotland Road is the home to the beautiful, St. Anthony's Catholic Church.
Dale Street is first mentioned in documents dating to 1330, and it takes its name from the dale through which a brook flowed into the original Pool of Liverpool!
Penny Lane was immortalised by The Beatles and is today home to the Sergeant Peppers Bistro. After leaving school in 1988, I worked for nearly a decade in various branches of a leading high street bank. A colleague of mine, who was due to retire, used to work at the bank's Penny Lane branch in his youth; he was convinced that he was the 'banker' mentioned in the song!
You remember it -
On the corner is a banker with a motor car
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mack in the pouring rain
It's very strange!
There is however one street which the 'City of Culture 08' guide books omit to mention. That is Parkfield Road in Liverpool's L17 district.
With its pleasant Victorian homes, tall trees and 'blue, suburban skies' this could be just another street in just another town. However, it is also the location of the BPAS Abortion mill.
We were there again today to join the faithful and humble little band of pilgrims who have prayed there in all weathers every Saturday morning for many years.
Whilst we were there today, one young lad and girl came outside laughing after the girl had aborted her child. They then got into their car, wound the windows down, lit up some cigarettes, scanned their CD through until finding the song 'Too late to worry now!' and then drove out past the small group of prayers whilst trying to drown out their prayers with this song.
Now that's very strange...
Please pray for these souls and all involved. The Culture of Death is becoming more hardened and more 'in your face' than ever before. We must pray for the conversion and repentance of these and all such souls who do not seem to know what it is that they do.
In spite of the sadness caused by such destruction of lives and souls, it is always very encouraging to meet this little group whose eyes twinkle with hope and good humour in spite of all the odds against them. Their personalities bear witness to the wonder of Grace working in souls and the power of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church and the Holy Rosary.
They cause us to proclaim once more - Be not afraid little flock - for your God is with you!  Â
