Guess the London Underground Station?
Hello let's play another guessing game. We will again focus on a single tube station
Please do reshare/tag this with anyone who'd enjoy guessing
Answer on Sunday
Or emus
It was very good to be in Assisi for the 40th International Meeting for Peace yesterday. In the Papal Basilica of St Francis, we gathered for an ecumenical service of Christian prayer for peace in our world.
Then we joined other faith leaders and representatives for the closing ceremony, to renew our commitment to working together for peace. In a powerful video address, Pope Leo XIV urged us to continue to live ‘the spirit of Assisi’ that began with the first meeting convened 40 years ago by Pope John Paul II.
In the name of Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace, I join with the Pope in praying that we would each be ‘unarmed instruments of the Lord’s peace.’
Amen
My daily prayers remain with Pope Leo XIV following his cancer diagnosis, and I assure the Holy Father and the Catholic faithful of the prayers of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion.
I pray that the Holy Spirit – the Comforter, Healer and Giver of Life – will sustain him in the days and weeks ahead, and that his recovery will be swift and complete.

Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of a new day. May all that I do today be done with love and for your glory. #MorningPrayer for the full and speedy recovery of Pope Leo 🙏

Pope Leo's coat of arms shows a flaming heart, a reference to St Augustine, as seen with his statue in the cathedral of Zaragoza.
Augustine wrote in the Confessions:
Sagittaveras tu cor meum caritate tua (“You have pierced my heart with your love”).

A fine taxonomic discovery of a Woodrow with concentric rings and central roundels. Compare #opercula Nos 710 and 633 with different numbers of concentric rings.

Churches across this country and around the Anglican Communion work tirelessly to support their parishes and communities.
It was good to welcome the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, and the Bishop of Leicester, Martyn Snow, to Lambeth Palace today, where we talked about the role that churches play in addressing poverty and expanding opportunities for children and families here and around the world.

Knitted figures commemorating the Second World War at the foot of the Butter Cross in Cheadle, Staffordshire, with behind it the wonderful spire of AWN Pugin’s St Giles (1846).
What a marvellous gathering. Deo Gratias
