“The Conversion of England is Very Near”

 

Sep 16, 2025 ALL SAINTS CHURCH

In this powerful homily, Fr Leon Pereira O.P. reflects on the central message of the Angelus - the mystery of the Incarnation, God made flesh. He highlights Walsingham as a shrine uniquely dedicated to this profound truth, calling it a sacred place where heaven touches earth through Mary's "yes." Fr Leon then turns to the tragic consequences of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, emphasising the spiritual rupture it caused in England’s Catholic heritage. Prophetically, Fr Leon speaks of a coming conversion of England, made inevitable by the prayers, sufferings, and blood of the martyrs. He reminds us that England is not lost - but destined to return to its true Queen, as Our Lady’s Dowry. Finally, he shares a powerful vision of how this spiritual revival will unfold, and the profound impact it will have not only on England but on the whole world.
