Fr Ron Writes . . .

24th February 2021

Dear Friends,

I have recently been watching the Netflix series entitled The Crown. I must say it is compelling watching, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the series so far. Queen Elizabeth is the only Monarch I have ever known, from postage stamps to listening to the Queen’s Speech at Christmas she is part of my life as she is of our Nations, what you might call a constant in a changing world. It was interesting seeing a few episodes filmed in Winchester Cathedral last year when I was home, and witnessing the enormous resources used to film the series which I was able to see as my little clergy house is opposite the beautiful and historic Winchester Cathedral.

Returning to the Parsonage here in Tenerife the Queen and Prince Philip are on the wall, and the history of All Saints the Parsonage and other places in Tenerife are thoroughly connected to those who travelled here from the UK hundreds of years ago. Last week I mentioned the beautiful English Cemetery in Puerto de la Cruz, and we can add to this the English Library, and a number of magnificent British-built mansions like Sitio Litre, steeped in history and home to the most beautiful orchid gardens since it was built in 1730, and purchased by the English merchant Archibald Little.

As we move through this year as present-day members of All Saints, we are reminded that our ancestors also passed through many things from wars to the Spanish Flu Pandemic and that we are a part with them of the history of All Saints and of this island’s history, and we thank God for our part in this adventure.

A Prayer
Look upon us, O Lord,
and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of thy brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom.
All our desire is known unto thee,
therefore perfect what thou hast begun,
and what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek thy face,
turn thy face unto us and show us thy glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect.
(Augustine, 354 – 430)

Blessings,
Fr Ron Corne
Chaplain.

Important Announcement

Car Boot Sales

PLEASE NOTE:  It had been hoped that we would be able to have a Car Boot Sale in February, however this will not be possible. We are continuing to monitor the Government regulations and hope that we will be able to restart them soon, although at this stage we have no idea when that will be.
