Pope says pandemic a 'lesson in humility'; warns against doing 'what
we did before'
https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2021/06/pope-says-pandemic-a-lesson-in-humility-warns-against-doing-what-we-did-before/
Ahead of the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Pope Francis welcomed a
delegation from Ecumenical Patriarchate Bartholomew I of
Constantinople on Monday, urging Orthodox and Catholic faithful to not
"squander" the "dramatic crisis" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The
"scourge" of the pandemic, the pope said in his remarks, "has tested
everyone and everything. Only one thing is more serious than this
crisis, and that is the risk that we will squander it, and not learn
the lesson it teaches. It is a lesson in humility, showing us that it
is not possible to live healthy lives in an unhealthy world, or to go
on as we were, without recognizing what went wrong" ...

Daffodils set to brighten Lyttelton cemeteries but some graves still
in 'shocking state'
https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-christchurch/daffodils-set-brighten-lyttelton-cemeteries-some-graves-still-shocking
Thousands of daffodils are being planted to brighten up Lyttelton's
two earthquake-damaged cemeteries. Christchurch City Council community
parks manager Al Hardy said it had already planted 20,000 grand
monarch daffodil bulbs in the Lyttelton Anglican Cemetery and are

Cemetery this month.
Obituary: The life of Bryan Watt - 29 kids, a good laugh and a beer
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/125396071/obituary-the-life-of-bryan-watt--29-kids-a-good-laugh-and-a-beer
Bryan Watt loved a beer, rugby and a good time.
It would be unfair, however, to imply that a man who fathered 17
children and fostered another 12, and who spent a lifetime serving the
community, was a larrikin. Known to all as Wattie, he died recently in
the family home holding the hand of Ann, his cherished wife of 62
years. A deep commitment to Catholicism underpinned everything he did,
as did the love for his wife and family.

STATION XV (podcast)
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 163 — Consultation, Cardinal, Canada, Canon Law (June 20, 2021)
Pope Francis has just announced that there will be a three-year
buildup to the next Synod of Bishops, inviting Catholics around the
world to share their thoughts on Church affairs. Will it be a valuable
process? Or just set people up for disappointment? In Germany, there
was a mix of excitement and disappointment when Cardinal Reinhard Marx
offered his resignation, but Pope Francis didn't accept that offer.
Anna, Don, James and Gavin tackle those topics, as well as the news of
more than 200 bodies being found at a Canadian residential school the
Church helped run and changes announced to canon law. In the light
story for the month, the panel marvels at a Scottish shed that's a
spiritual home for Catholics — in many parts of the world. Enjoy the
show and, if you like it, tell your friends about The 15th Station.

In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad, Belgian
