I’ve been on the Isle of Wight at Quarr Abbey on a retreat over the last few days, amidst storm force winds and much rain. It was remarkable to see the Wightlink ferry from Fishbourne still managing to operate. It makes you admire all those who work at sea, in transport and in other exposed positions. Let us pray for their safety and well-being during these difficult operating conditions. We pray too for all those whose travel arrangements have been disrupted and for families affected by localised flooding.
Meanwhile, welcome to this e-News issue 553 (2026/37) for Tuesday 27th October 2026. You can read this week about the new document from the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and download your own copy below. Thank you for all your support. Over these next days, may the Lord bless you, your family and friends, with His love.
With all good wishes and an assurance of my prayers,
In Corde Iesu
+Philip
Bishop of Portsmouth
