Cats purr on inhalation and exhalation. Cats that roar cannot purr and those that purr cannot roar. Cats start to purr a couple of days after birth. They purr when they feel vulnerable, when in labour and near death. The 25 Hertz frequency of the purr is a frequency that promotes healing.
‘Every creature is a unique work of God, with its own message, its own metaphor, its own energetic style, its own way of showing forth goodness, beauty and participation in the Great Mystery. Each creature has its own glow and its own unique glory. To be a contemplative is to be able to see each epiphany, to enjoy it, protect it and draw upon it for the common good.’
Richard Rohr

Please donate if you can!
In these unprecedented times, St Mary’s is reaching out and supporting our community in many ways, especially online. But with Services in church cancelled, we no longer receive income from collections, nor from hiring out the church and hall buildings.
If you can help us financially to continue to offer Christ's love to our community in these difficult times, as those before us have done down the centuries, please consider making a donation by debit/credit card and to Gift Aid it if possible, by clicking this link to 'givealittle':
Thank you!
