It’s almost inconceivable that it is 12 years ago today that we lost Andy Porter. Andy was not just a fellow Trustee and ‘the’ oracle for all things @spursofficial, he was a kind and wise man and we feel his loss as keenly today as 12 years ago.

Remembering Andy Porter our official club historian who we lost on this day in 2014 aged just 54.
Andy had a knowledge of our clubs history which was on par with the very best.
Our thoughts are with his sister @JanePorter8 and all who knew Andy.

Two months into his pontificate, a man named Robert Prevost picked up the phone from the Vatican and called his bank in South Chicago. He wanted to update the phone number on his account.
The teller asked the standard security questions, and he answered every one of them. Then her screen flagged his file: any further changes had to be made in person, at the branch, with a photo ID.
Coming in person would not be possible, he told her, in the polite tone of a man who knew the answer before he asked the question. The teller apologized.
He paused, then asked: “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?”
She hung up on him. thelettersfromleo.com/p/woul…

No wonder he broke a record: Sawe asked for prayers during the last Mass he attended before flying to London. He said that Sawe “never misses Mass. He comes with his entire family to church.” Fun read americamagazine.org/ideas/20…

Phone pledge: 'Three years ago, students would frequently have disputes involving social media. This led to upset across classes, disrupting children’s ability to learn. Last year there were no such disputes – the same is true for this year.' dioceseofbrentwood.net/news/… @BrentwoodRC

Canonizing Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis, the first millennial raised to the altars, Pope Leo says new saints “are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces.” vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

We are pleased to share the news of a vital new study, generously funded by the James Lewis Foundation, to address one of the most urgent challenges in epilepsy – Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
Led by Professor Sameer Zuberi at the Royal Hospital for Children and the University of Glasgow, the 18‑month Endeavour Project will test whether a small, chest‑worn biosensor can detect dangerous breathing problems during and after seizures.

How we look at others is what counts, because it shows what is in our hearts. We can look and walk by, or we can look and be moved with compassion. #GospelOfToday (Lk 10:25-37)
Jane Porter 💙 retweeted
Looking without walking by, halting the frantic pace of our lives, allowing the lives of others, whoever they may be, with their needs and troubles, to touch our heart. That is what makes us neighbors to one another, what generates true fraternity and breaks down walls and barriers.
