Ember Day

Blandina and Her Companions, the Martyrs of Lyons

Grant, O Lord, that we who keep the feast of the holy martyrs Blandina and her companions may be rooted and grounded in love of you, and may endure the sufferings of this life for the glory that shall be revealed in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Above: Way up in the upper right hand corner of the reredos behind the High Altar, the Virgin Mary says “yes” to God (via the Archangel Gabriel). This corresponds to a little image in the upper left hand corner of the reredos which shows Adam and Eve being expelled from the garden (their “no” to God).
