On this day, 27th January, 1540, Angela Merici died in a little room adjoining the Church of St Afra, in Brescia. The Church is now known as the Sanctuary of St Angela and her incorruptible body can be venerated at an altar to the right of the sanctuary. I was recently privileged to spend some days in Brescia pondering Angela's message to us. Two aspects of her spirituality in particular struck me: her freedom of spirit and flowing from it her abundant joy. So I hear Angela say to us:-</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is the feast of St Ursula, whose name and patronage St Angela Merici chose for her Company. St Ursula was a medieval saint who together with her companions was slaughtered on her way back from a pilgrimage to Rome. For more about her life visit the <span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ursulines.co.uk/ursula.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ursuline website</a>.</span> </span> Each month on the Ursuline website there is a reflection, this month the <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ursulines.co.uk/meditations/october-meditation.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reflection is on St Ursula</a> </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1524, St Angela went on a long pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was not usual for women to travel alone, but Angela was prepared to risk all the dangers to visit and pray at the holy places where Jesus had lived and died. Her pilgrimage as you can read on the life of St Angela included some unexpected challenges, including a period of blindness. However, on her return, Angela was soon to go on pilgrimage to Rome, here she was able to 'pray for God's help and encouragement to take the next step which she knew, in her heart of hearts, she was being asked to take.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking time out of our everyday lives gives each of us an opportunity to review our lives. Going on pilgrimage or making a retreat are ways to help us on our journey. I am fortunate to have that opportunity. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There will be a short break during this time when I ask for your prayers. I will return with news of my pilgrimage on the Feast of St Angela, January 27th 2014. Until then I leave you with words of encouragement from St Angela Merici.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Wednesday 9th October the new members of the General Council were anounced. Sr Ann-Marie Gardiner who is the Provincial for the English Province has been elected as a General Councillor, see below far right. We send our prayers to her and all the new Councillors that they will be guided by the Holy Spirit and charism of our patron St Angela Merici.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Friday, during the prayer service the outgoing and incoming General Councillors were each given a small wooden bowl with the following inspiring words: </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">life, communion, courage, solidarity, charism, act, <br />boldly, risk, transformed, confidence, <br />go out and insieme.</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each word held meaning for us as we worked together towards the call. Each councilor came up bringing her wooden bowl with the specific word and joined the others singing “Insieme”. Insieme is an Italian word for together - unity.</span><br />

together for mutual support and to find inspiration in the writings of St Angela

out our vocations as wives and mothers. The meeting begins with time
to chat and share our experiences, joys and challenges over a delicious meal
prepared by some of the Angelinas. We then have a reflection led by one of the Ursulines inspired by St Angela Merici, see below reflection from an earlier meeting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three blue waves remind us of the Baptism of Jesus and our own Baptism which was in the name of the three persons of God - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Baptism we are plunged into life in the Trinity. The waves go outside the image background, and have been described as showing how </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with Jesus' rising from the dead and conquering death, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">our life in God gives us hope to overcome the obstacles we may face. The waves with their peaks and troughs remind us of the highs and lows of life, we are encouraged to risk the unknown in order to go out into deep water to meet others.</span><br />
