Jane Curley at 100

Can a philosopher become a saint? Can love of wisdom lead to love of Wisdom? Today's feast shows that the answer to both questions is a resounding "yes". I was going to recommend the work of our friend Joanne Mosley, but many people are blogging about St Teresa Benedicta today so this post will concentrate on something nearer home. Yesterday Jane Curley celebrated her 100th birthday by joining us for Midday Prayer and then having a party in the parish Meeting Rooms. It was a squash trying to get everyone in as our oratory is small, but people cheerfully lined the corridor; and the celebratory lunch afterwards was a nice blend of "parish" and "village". Photos will be going up on the parish web site at www.catholichendredandilsley.org.uk, but here is a view of Jane getting down to the serious business of cutting her cake . . . and another of Duncan setting off in search of a stray sausage or two.
