1 8 4 5 - 1 8 5 1 | ‘ L i k e C o m i n g I n t o P o r t A ft e r a R o u g h S e a ”
On October 8th 1845, Fr Dominic Barberi, an Italian, Passionist priest who was in England on missionary work, arrived at New-man’s Littlemore residence. Newman had invited him to hear his confession and to receive him into communion with the Catholic Church. By this point, many of those who lived with Newman in Littlemore had already converted. Newman’s confession went on so late into the night that Fr Dominic insisted that they go to bed and resume it in the morning. When it was completed, John Hen-ry Newman was received into the Catholic Church, a major step on his journey. This had huge personal consequences. By convert-ing Newman lost most of his friends from the Church of England, his family rejected him and he could no longer be a fellow at Ox-ford. He would later describe how the trials of this period moved him to more completely surrender his life to God. He writes, ‘He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me in among strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide the future from me – still He knows what He is about.’ Meditations and Devotions, pp. 301-302
His conversion was accompanied by a great sense of interior peace. He wrote: I was not conscious to myself, on my conversion, of any change, intellectual or moral, wrought in my mind. I was not con-scious of firmer faith in the fundamental truths of Revelation, or of more self-command; I had not more fervour; but it was like coming into port after a rough sea.’ Apologia, p. 238
The year after his conversion, Newman was sent to Rome to further his study and here discovered the model of community life pursued by the Oratorians of St. Philip Neri. St. Philip Neri was a saint of the sixteenth century and Newman saw him as a great example of cheerful witness. He also saw in the shape of Oratorian life, something deeply familiar. He once wrote: ‘The nearest approximation in fact to an Oratorian Congregation that I know … is one of the Colleg-es in the Anglican Universities. Takes such a college, destroy the Heads’ house, annihilate wife and children, restore him to the body of fellows, and give the Head and Fellows missionary and pastoral work, and you have a Congregation of St Philip before your eyes.’ Chapter address of January/February 1848
On February 1st 1848, With the approval of Pope Pius IX, Newman established, in Birmingham, the first Oratory of St. Philip Neri in the English speaking world. The year after that, with one of his disciples, Frederick William Faber, Newman founded a second Oratory community in London. In these years, Newman began to address those who had formerly been involved in the Oxford Movement, to con-vince them that they belonged in the Catholic Church too. Newman’s conversion had prompted many in the intellectual spheres of Oxford and Cambridge to join the Catholic Church, but now having re-turned and established communities, Newman set about writing to those he had once led, encouraging them to continue seeking for the spirit of the true church. He wrote essays entitled ‘Certain Difficulties Felt by Anglicans in Catholic Teaching’ and gave a series of lectures on the ‘Present Position of Catholics in England’. However, the next phase of his journey would call him beyond his beloved England and to a new endeavour all together. (excerpts from newmancanonisation.com/newmans-life)

The Epistle: Galatians 4:4-7 When the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.
The Lesson: Isaiah 7:10-14; 8:10 In those days, the Lord spoke to Ahaz, "Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven." But Ahaz said, 'I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test." And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his Name Immanuel [God is with us]." Take counsel together, but it will come to nought; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel: St. Matthew 1:18-23 V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.
V. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew. R. Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came to-gether she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,

R. Even unto the God of my joy and gladness.
V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. O GOD of mercy, who hast entrusted the Bread of Life to thy Church through thine only Son: Bless + and consecrate, we pray thee, our brothers who have been chosen for the ministry of Acolyte; grant that they may be faithful in the service of thine Altar, and in giving to others the Bread of Life; may they grow always in faith and love, to the building up of thy holy Church; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.

Each candidate goes to the Bishop, who gives him a ciborium containing bread, saying:

The Bishop concludes the rite of institution by saying:
MAY almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who hath vouchsafed to lead you into this fellowship and ministry of the Altar, bless and strengthen you, that you may tread under foot the head of the serpent, your enemy, and at length victori-ously attain the palm and crown of your everlasting inheritance, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Deacon announces the blessing:

Bishop: The Lord be with you. People: And with thy Spirit. Bishop: Blessed be the Name of the Lord. People: Now and forever. Bishop: Our help is in the Name of the Lord. People: Who hath made heaven and earth. Bishop: The peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Through the intercession of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, may the blessing of God ✠ the Father ✠ and the Son, ✠ and the Holy Spirit, be amongst you and remain with you always. People: Amen.
The Deacon begins the procession to the Shrine:
V. Let us proceed in peace. R. In the name of Christ. Amen.
In place of the usual recessional hymn, the Sacred Liturgy concludes this day on our Patronal Feast with a procession to the outdoor Shrine and the Novena to Our Lady of Walsingham.
The People join the procession behind the Sacred Ministers and Celebrant. The Schola begins intoning the Litany, and the People respond.

Ancient Walsingham Prayer
O alone of all women, Mother and Virgin, Mother most happy, Virgin most pure, now we sinful as we are, come to see thee who are all pure, we salute thee, we honour thee as how we may with our humble offerings; may thy Son grant us, that imitating thy most holy manners, we also, by the grace of the Holy Ghost may deserve spiritually to conceive the Lord Jesus in our inmost soul, and once conceived never to lose him. Amen.
Prayer to Our Lady of Walsingham
O blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in your prayers, as we implore this special favor: for the clergy and faithful of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. By you it was that Jesus, our Savior and hope, was given to the world; and he has given you to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom you did receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of your Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with you in our heavenly home. Amen.
The Angelus
Let us pray. We beseech thee, O LORD, pour thy grace into our hearts: that as we have known the incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ by the mes-sage of an angel, so by his cross and passion ✠ we may be brought unto the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Angel of the Lord announced unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Ghost.
