St Martin Magazine - March 2026

この号では

The cover image of our March edition of Saint Martin Magazine shows the outstretched hand of Jesus with a clear nail imprint. This is part of a statue which can be seen in the Sanctuary at Lourdes. It is a reminder to us that during this month, we are in the season of Lent. In his article for Evangelium, Michael Oliver Wyer encourages us to focus on the crucifixion and takes us in detail through the “Seven Last Words” of Christ on the cross. It Happened This Month echoes the darkness of Christ’s death, but points to ultimate redemption in the story of Sister Elisabeth de l’Eucharistie, who in the hell of Ravensbrück Concentration Camp willingly gave up her life for another. Dom Aelred Magee OCSO, having looked at the importance of the Altar and the Sanctuary, now turns his attention to the function of the Chair. In his Saintly Shepherds series, Ray Hughes writes about Pope Saint Innocent I. His elevation came at a dark moment for the Roman Empire in the West which was being overrun by Germanic invasions. In the face of the catastrophes, Pope Innocent used patience and force of will to advance the primacy of the Holy See over the universal Christian Church.
