The end of our second day of #pilgrimage on the Isle of Man.
Today we walked stretches of the Triskelion Way, taking in the beauty of Glen Mooar, Cabbal Pherick and Spoot Vane, before gathering at Our Lady, Star of the Sea Church and continuing from Ramsey to Maughold.
It was a privilege to end the day in prayer at Maughold, honouring the island's patron saint and giving thanks for the rich Christian heritage that continues to shape life and faith here.

A wonderful first day on the Isle of Man, walking in #pilgrimage from the Sound to Spanish Head and onto Cregneash with fellow pilgrims.
Along the way we shared in conversation and prayer, before ending the day with Manx Evening Prayer at Cregneash Church. Thank you to everyone who joined us and offered such a warm welcome.

The first Single Friendly Church Week begins on Sunday. It's an invitation to every worshipping community to look honestly at how we welcome those who live alone, and to take one intentional step towards being a church that is kind, fair and forgiving, and where every person is supported and welcomed.

If there's one prayer everybody knows, it's the Lord's Prayer, but do we stop to think about what it means? Look forward to being in Liverpool on Monday 5 October as part of my Lord’s Prayer Tour. Come to @LivCathedral for what will be an enjoyable, stimulating and challenging evening. @LivDiocese

Today we lift high the cross — a symbol of victory, love, and redemption. On #HolyCrossDay, we remember that through Christ’s suffering came our salvation, and through His death, new life was born.

25 years on, we still remember where we were on 11 September 2001. I remember a woman on a train who, amid the fear and confusion, quietly opened her Bible and prayed. Her example offers a powerful reminder for today: that while we must confront terrorism and injustice, we must also resist fear, hatred and division — and keep working for peace.

My book, ‘Praying By Heart: The Lord’s Prayer for Everyone’ has been released today in paperback. I wrote this book so that everybody might come to know the prayer Jesus taught us more deeply. The book invites us to learn The Lord’s Prayer, to pray it by heart and to live it out.
