Our duty of care to our fellow man is not a commodity to be traded as part of a transactional process. The gospel does not say "care, but only if you get paid". If your compassion is transactional, is it really compassion at all?

This sweet little dog is Archie. He attended the LOUDfence Workshop at St Paul's Church in Alnwick on Saturday. He was sprinkled with gold leaf whilst sitting under the work table, so he looks quite glamorous. Those who seek to reform cultural attitudes to safeguarding come in all shapes and sizes.

Safeguarding and the care of survivors is the responsibility of everyone in the church. We have a moral responsibility to recognise there are many vocations but one universal responsibility to safeguard. LOUDfence - the common vocation of care.

It would be tempting to think this was true, but God is so much greater than our disappointments. Don't lose hope.

The LOUDfence Workshop at St Paul's Church in Alnwick yesterday was a wonderful event. This is Canon Stephen Watson, the parish priest, making a message of support for a survivor he has accompanied. The church has to be a sanctuary for all who have been wounded by abuse.

From my intercessions this morning: “Bind the forces of abuse, oppression and violence. Bless the work of peacemakers; through their efforts, may your reconciliation, healing and peace be known on earth, as it is in heaven. So help us, God.” Mary, Queen of Peace, Queen of Palestine, pray for us

One of the privileges of working on LOUDfence is the people we have the opportunity to talk with. One of them is David in Orkney who sends shells for our Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope Shells. Here they are, fresh from the North Sea. Thanks David

A 96 year old Italian lady who sits in front of me at mass told me this. "The instinctive primary safeguarders of the catholic church are not found in seminaries or on altars. They are made in maternity wards. The church already had the solution all along. They just didn't realise it "

I'll be posting a bit more in the next few days, but in the meantime, strength and solidarity to victims and survivors who might be feeling rather lost in the noise of it all. You are not alone. As a survivor of CSA, I'm sick and tired of empty words, and of feeling drawn into this toxicity. #CSA

Feast of the motherhood of Mary. Our Lady, Senior Safeguarding Officer of your global church, guide all those who work in safeguarding throughout the coming year and cast the light of truth on those whose actions fail to prioritise the safety of the vulnerable. Pray for us.

Today is the feast of the holy family. The first relationship which existed at the very beginning of the domestic church was between Jesus and his mum. Mary's instinctive vocation was to safeguard Jesus. This is the beginning of safeguarding in the domestic church.

The feast of the holy innocents is a day to reflect on the duty of care we owe to others and the critical importance of safeguarding. “A voice was heard in Ramah of painful crying and deep sadness: Rachel crying for her children. She refused to be comforted, because her children are dead.”

Holy Innocents I have never found this feast easy. A part of me just doesn’t want to think about the slaughter of children. Sadly, the actions of a merciless depot are not confined to Biblical times.
