Today we are posting a link to a pdf for the second edition of St Peters Complaynt by St Robert Southwell (see end of post). This revised edition incorporates a number of minor corrections to content and formatting, together with some modifications to the paraphrases. We are publishing it on the Feast of the Holy Family with a confident hope of help for our family members now but especially at the hour of our death.
👈The image on the front cover, known as The Tears of Saint Peter (1587-1596), is by El Greco (Domḗnikos Theotokópoulos) 1541-1614. Museo Soumaya at Plaza Carso (Mexico City). CC BY-SA 3.0. The painting overlaps the period of St Robert Southwell’s mission and imprisonment, leading to his execution in 1595. Please pray for the soul of Esther Clark. R.I.P. She gave a framed copy of this painting to the author in the mid 1980’s.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, assist me in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, may I breathe forth my soul in peace with you.
Amen.

Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
