Just a thought....

David’s Bathsheba - gate began, when he let his guard down.

The Bible says, ‘then it happened’. What an opening line,

David was fifty two, and like a lot of men in middle age, he

wondered, ‘Do I still have it?’ Whatever he thought he

certainly wasn’t on guard, and the devil knew it. David had

lived victoriously for twenty years. ‘Then it happened’.

Be careful, yesterday doesn’t guarantee your success today.

David saw Bathsheba that night, but it’s what he didn’t see that

shipwrecked him. He didn’t see that his sin would cause four of

his children to die, (the baby, Amnon, Absalom and Adonijah),

or that it would split his kingdom in half, and make him a

murderer. That’s the problem with sin. If you are looking at

things you ought not to look at, you’re not seeing the whole

picture. It’s what you don’t see that will hurt you. So David

devises a plan a, plan b, plan, c, to cover up his sin.

Plan A was to bring Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah, home from

battle, to spend the weekend with his wife, so that the baby

would appear to be his. But it didn’t work.

Plan B was getting him drunk, and trying to send him home,

didn’t work either.

Plan C wasn’t so tame; it was murder. Tragically, this plan did

work. ‘I’ll never do that’, you say. You’d be amazed what you’d

do, in a moment of weakness. The fire of sex is meant for the

fireplace of marriage. Once it leaves there someone is going to

get burned.

The bottom line....(let him who thinks he stands, take heed lest

he fall’ (1Corinthians 10:12)

Have you noticed the difference:- people who commit other

kinds of sins are said to have ‘slipped’; but in fornication they

'fall’.

All cultures, to an extent, are respectful and fearful of sexual

desire, because of the unique strength of this passion. And

because of the emotional and biological powers it unleashes,

and all societies struggle to channel and control it.

I believe I’m on safe ground when I say that our own society

seems to be experimenting, to determine the absolute

minimum level of taboo and control we can retain, and still

survive.

========

No one can live without delight and that is why a man deprived

of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures.

(Thomas Aquinas)

Love for our neighbour consists of three things:-

To desire the greater good of everyone.

To do what good we can when we can.

To bear, excuse, and hide other’s faults.

God Bless

Deacon Bill

• Kindness is the ability to love people more than they

deserve.

• It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.

• Never fear shadows. They simple mean there’s a light

shining somewhere nearby.

• Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word

is never thrown away.

• A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear.

• Live a life of serenity, not one of continuing regrets.

• In all things - do your best.

I would like to thank everyone especially Father

Michael and Breda for their kindness to me. Also

for me during my stay in hospital.

May God bless you all

One Hundred Years Ago - 1913. No. 7

July, August & September

In 1913 Shepshed Railway Station was still lit by oil lamps, it

was also renowned for the neatness of its well - kept gardens,

winning third prize in that years competition.

The year also saw the building of the large extension to the

Primitive Methodist Chapel on Charnwood Road. Well known

for its fine acoustic properties, and good lighting, it was the

outcome of a surge in Primitive Methodism in the late

Nineteenth, and early Twentieth Centuries. The original chapel

[still standing] was built in 1877 but was now proving to be too

small. The new extension was built with the generous help of

that Shepshed industrialist and benefactor Mr. Joseph

Harriman.

On 29th July His Eminence Cardinal Bourne, Archbishop

of Westminster, and his secretary

Mgr. Dr. Jackman, alighted at

Loughborough Railway Station on his

way to open a new wing at Ratcliffe

Collage. Fr. Hurley and Fr. Cormack

of St. Mary’s Loughborough greeted

him. Amongst those also awaiting His

Eminence at the station were the

children of St. Mary’s Girls School

who knelt to receive his blessing.

[Cardinal Francis Alphonsus Bourne 1861 - 1935]

The Cardinal was then taken by horse and carriage to Our

Lady’s Convent in Park Road where the Reverend Mother took

him on a conducted tour; afterwards he spoke to some of the

Sisters.

Cardinal Borne and his secretary then continued their journey

to Ratcliffe Collage in the motor - car of Mr. D.J. Powell of

Birmingham. Upon arrival they were greeted by an immense

throng of people including the Father President, Fr. Cremonini

who read the address of welcome. Amongst those present

were our own Bishop, The Right Rev. Dr. Robert Brindle

D.S.O. The Bishop of Clifton, The Right Rev. G. Burton and

the Bishop of Salford, the Right Rev. Dr. Casartelli. Also in the

gathering were a large number of Old Boys, parents and

friends as well as members of the staff and pupils.

After an evening of entertainment and speeches the new Wing

was duly opened at 10.15 the next morning.

The new building was designed as an extension of the North -

East Wing by Mr. Arthur Young of London, and it was built by

Mr. J. Bradford of Leicester. On the ground floor the new

addition comprised a dining hall, a kitchen, offices, a matron’s

room and a servants hall. On the first floor was a suite of

sixteen bedrooms, while above was a dormitory and

bathrooms. An interesting feature is the tower of the tank

room, where sufficient water is stored for a week. In addition

the isolation infirmary was enlarged, as was the cloister,

together with a new entrance into the church.

As the day drew to a close I can do no better than end the

memory of a great occasion than by quoting from “The

Ratcliffian”. The Ratcliffe Collage Magazine.”After refreshing

afternoon tea and dainties had been served upon the beautiful

lawn, the end came all too soon. Motor - cars and still existing

horsed carriages whirled early departing visitors and boys to

the railway stations. The Cardinal, having bestowed a much

appreciated blessing in the shape of an extra week of holidays,

left amid lusty cheers shrilled from energetic boyish throats,

while those of us who stayed a little longer, finally turned our

backs on the collage with no little regret, but withal, buoyed up

with the hope that we should all meet there again at no very

distant date”.

3rd Shepshed St Winefrides Brownies

The Brownies finished last term with meetings in the sunshine,

enjoying bracelet making, new games and a pyjama night.

The final meeting was prepared by the girls leaving Brownies.

The theme was Under the Sea and we had a great night!

At this point I would like to say good luck and best wishes to

the girls leaving Brownies. Lucy, Betty and Daisy are moving

on from Brownies. They have been lovely to have in the pack

and we hope they enjoy their future at Guides and Sea Cadets.

At the meeting we also said good luck to our Young Leader

Flipper (Sophie) who is going to University in September. We

wish her all the best for her time at University however we will

be welcoming her back whenever she can make a meeting and

of course to our next Pack Holiday which she wouldn’t miss for

the world!

Brownies starts up again in September at the same time as the

new school term begins. We will be welcoming new Brownies

who are coming up from Rainbows and starting to plan for the

departure to Guides of some of our other girls who will be

leaving at Christmas. I hope they enjoy their last term with us.

From September we will be starting to celebrate the Big

Brownie Birthday as Brownies are 100 years old in 2014, but

our celebrations will run from September 2013 to September

2014 so we can make the most of the occasion!

A Reflection on the word ‘IF’

If the priest preaches over seven minutes, he is long - winded;

if his sermon is short, he didn’t prepare it.

If the parish funds are low, he is a poor business man;

if he mentions money, he is money mad.

If he owns a car, he is worldly;

if he does not, he is late for everything including sick calls.

If he visits parishioners, he is nosey;

if he does not , he is being snobbish.

If he is an ecumenical fanatic, he is in the wrong Church;

if he is not he is unchristian.

If he has fayres and bazaars, he’s bleeding the people;

if he does not, there is not enough social life in the parish.

If he starts Mass on the minute, his watch is fast;

if he starts late, he is holding up the congregation.

If he takes time in the confessional to help and advise,

he is too long;

if he does not, he is not interested in people.

If he decorates the Church, he is spending too much money;

if he does not, he is letting things run down.

If he’s young, he has little experience;

if he’s old, he should be retired.

IF HE DIES - THERE IS NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE HIM.

This was sent in by one of our parishioners.

Father Bernard

Grimley

A native of Shepshed

Father Grimley was a

distinguished Catholic

throughout his life. The

Voice team would like to

acknowledge this fact and

celebrate his life with the

publication of a booklet.

Our research has already

begun but we would love

to hear from any parishioners who have any information,

photographs or memories about Father Bernard that they

would like to share. If you have it would be great to hear from

you, contact Margaret Rush or if you would prefer to send any

information online email Nathan at:

[email protected]

As a short introduction to Father Bernard’s life we can do no

better than reprint Michael Wortley’s summary of his life which

appeared in The Voice some years ago.

The Rev Bernard Grimley DD PhD was ordained by Cardinal

Pompili at the Lateran Seminary in Rome, November 1921. He

returned to England the next year and was appointed curate at

St Mary’s Church, Grimsby. His next move was to Mansfield as

assistant to Fr Charles Payne, who later became Vicar-

General of the Nottingham Diocese, and who incidentally was

Page 17: St. Winefride’s Church 2013.pdf · WINEFRIDE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Charnwood Road, Shepshed, Leics. ... Jim Lawson, Nora Lawson, James Lester, Rowena Lester ... e-mail b.fox6@ntlworld.com

instrumental in purchasing the Chapel at Padley. At Mansfield

Fr Grimley had charge of the outlying districts, doing much

ground work for the future parishes of Kirby and Sutton in

Ashfield. A year at Saint Peter’s Leicester followed and it was

from here that Mgr Payne proposed that he should join the

Catholic Missionary Society. It was as a member of this

society that Fr Grimley became known throughout the British

Isles, giving many lectures in churches, parish halls and,

together with his fellow priests, from a ‘motor chapel’. This was

really a converted van which toured the more remote areas. In

the early 1930s the motor chapel was to be seen doing its

missionary work in the deprived coal mining parts of Wales.

From 1925 to 1933 Fr Grimley was also editor of the Catholic

Gazette. What with his retreat work for the laity and the clergy,

broadcasting for the BBC and lecturing for the Cambridge

Summer School of Catholic Studies he became very well

known, but it must have been exhausting work.

It was in 1927 and again in 1937 that he received invitations

from his friend, Mgr McMahon to give the Lenten course of

sermons at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in New York, USA.

These Fr Grimley classed amongst his happiest memories, but

again it was hard work, for in addition to the Lenten Courses

he continued lecturing, broadcasting and giving retreats. In

1933 he took over the management and editorship of the

Catholic Times. It was no coincidence that the paper was at

that time owned by the Superior of the Catholic Missionary

Society. When Fr Grimley took over the reins, the Catholic

Times was at a very low ebb, and it is his monument that it

Page 18: St. Winefride’s Church 2013.pdf · WINEFRIDE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Charnwood Road, Shepshed, Leics. ... Jim Lawson, Nora Lawson, James Lester, Rowena Lester ... e-mail b.fox6@ntlworld.com

18

has gone from strength to strength since then. At the time of

the Spanish Civil War (1936 – 39) his articles on social

questions had a wide readership and was extensively quoted

in the national press.

Nor did he forget St Winefride’s, preaching two missions here

to packed congregations. It was Fr Grimley’s hunger for

parochial work which made him drop everything else, and his

first appointment as parish priest was at Cleethorpes, at that

time served from St Mary’s , Grimsby. First he had to channel

his enormous energies into finding a presbytery and furnishing

it, next a church and he was lucky to secure the fine premises

known as the Guildhall. The Sisters of St Joseph opened St

Hugh’s Nursing Home, this was in premises which Fr Grimley

had originally negotiated purchase for a school. His natural

charm soon had the people of Cleethorpes rallying to his

leadership and once again he was lecturing, not only in

Cleethorpes but neighbouring Grimsby as well. He was always

there for everyone who needed him, and it was a sad time

when, in 1942, he was moved to the Sacred Heart Parish,

Leicester. This too needed extensive repairs, all accomplished

while nearly paying off the heavy debt of £3000, as well as

losing half the parish to form St Joseph’s.

It was no surprise that Fr Grimley’s health began to deteriorate

and in 1945 the new Bishop of Nottingham, the Right Rev

Edward Ellis DD, moved him to St Mary’s Boston, in a county

he loved, Lincolnshire. Here his health improved. The 27th

November 1946 saw Fr Grimley celebrate his silver jubilee, but

Page 19: St. Winefride’s Church 2013.pdf · WINEFRIDE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Charnwood Road, Shepshed, Leics. ... Jim Lawson, Nora Lawson, James Lester, Rowena Lester ... e-mail b.fox6@ntlworld.com

19

because of his short time in Boston he felt it wrong that his

parishioners should be asked to contribute to a presentation.

But St Winefride’s could not let the occasion pass unmarked,

and Fr Grimley celebrated Mass at what was still called the

new church on the first Sunday in advent 1946, a presentation

made to him in the evening.

1950 was Holy Year, and with his usual enthusiasm he drove

to Rome, a journey we wouldn’t think twice about today, but in

1950, just five years after the war, it is a feat bordering on epic!

On 29th September 1950, just a short time after his return from

Italy the Rev Dr Bernard Grimley died at the age of 52, it was

thought that the journey to Rome was too much for even his

gallant spirit. He was buried in Boston, like Fr Brown among

the people he served. At the funeral 55 clergy attended, a

show of respect for a man who in his short ministry,

accomplished more than most of us can hope to do in a full

lifetime.

May he rest in peace.
