It is with great personal sadness that we, the Collins Family, must inform the loyal followers of Linen on the Hedgerow, that our beautiful father, husband and grandfather, Richard Collins, has died peacefully at home this morning surrounded by those who loved him most. He was blessed to receive the Last Rites and Holy Mass was celebrated in the Extraordinary Form at his bedside. Please pray for the repose of his soul.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Rest in peace Richard,
ReplyDeleteL`eterno riposo dona a loro Signore, risplenda ad essi la luce perpetua, riposino in pace, Amen.

RIP, RIchard. I'll pray.
ReplyDeleteMay God be praised for the life of this passionately Catholic man, who fought and wrote so eloquently of the Faith of Christ. It was truly an honour to meet Richard in this life. His dedication to family, Christ, to the Mass and to friends, as well as his humble and generous conduct was exemplary. Prayers for Richard and prayers for his family. Requiescat in pace. May you enjoy forever the Beatific Vision, Richard, brave soldier of Christ.
DeleteRest in peace, Richard. My Rosary tonight is for you.

Although we never personally met, I considered Richard a good friend and a great help to me and my family on our spiritual journey. Our loss, while it cannot possibly compare to yours, his dear family, is deeply felt. Richard was a gift. Requiescat in Pace dear friend. I pray that Our Lord and His Holy Mother will sustain the Collins Family in your grief. God bless you. Joyce
ReplyDeleteHoly Mass was offered for him last night.
ReplyDeleteRequiescat in Pacem
Psalm 129/130:
ReplyDeleteDe profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuæ intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meæ.
Si iniquitates observaveris,
Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
May Richard rest in peace.
I never commented on this (and other) blogs but read it with much interest. May Richard rest in peace and may God console those who mourn him.
ReplyDeleteRequiescat in Pacem
ReplyDeleteI will remember him at the Altar tonight
Euge serve bone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hole Richard's death leaves in my life, and I am just a distant blog reader in America. How thousands times worse for you, his beloved family! My deepest sympathy to you. And to Richard, " In paradisum deducant te Angeli.."
ReplyDeleteRequiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei!

ReplyDeleteCondolences to the family. I shall miss Richard's wit and insights. Prayers.
ReplyDeleteDear Collins family,
ReplyDeleteYour news about Richard Collins brought tears to my eyes! Although I only had brief email contact with him.It was something special for me to read his Blog as we were educated by the same Burnt Oak Dominicans. A good and wise man with such a sense of humour! He has been on the prayer list of my FSSP parish in vancouver Canada. Parish prayers will continue to be said for him.
As you know the FSSP are priests of the Extraordinary Rite.
Is there any way I can let you know if I am able .have a mass said for him?
My sincere prayers for Richard & all of you, his family.
Joy.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine et lux perpetua luceat eis.
ReplyDeleteHe followed my little blog and commented there a few times. Richard shall be greatly missed even by those of us who only knew him online (but we shall not miss him in prayer!).
God bless Richard. He supported my efforts and followed my blog regularly. I met him in London in 2011. I am sorry God decided he should leave us all so quickly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless him and the family.
What a beautiful way to leave this vale of tears and go to his meeting with our Blessed Lord and Saviour! May he be granted eternal rest and happiness in Heaven. All consolations and blessings to all the family.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace. Praying for Mrs Collins and for all Richard's family.
ReplyDeleteWill offer Holy Mass for him soon.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Richard family.
Thank you for sharing this. It is a great consolation to this heavy heart. He will be missed. He was very kind to me in this brutal world. May he rest in peace. Be assured of my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI having been reading your father's blog for over a year now. I live in America and honestly, I did not much about the author. I came upon this blog while suffering the off-the-comments coming from Rome. I came to learn more about the Extraordinary Form of the Holy Sacrifice and as of February of this year, it's the only Mass I attend. I am so thankful for your father's insights and love of Truth. May His soul rest with the Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him.
ReplyDeleteEternal Memory, O Lord
ReplyDeleteI said to my daughters a couple of days ago that I bet Our Blessed Mother will take Richard on the Feast of the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I really felt it would be on a feast day of Our Lady.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace! God bless you all - the Harvey-Craig Family.
I shall miss him as I visited from time to time and was never disappointed.
ReplyDeleteFarewell, Richard - a brave, true Catholic gentleman.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to learn your news. My deepest sympathy to all the Collins family. I always found Richard's blog uplifting and it was a privilege to have met him.
ReplyDeleteMay his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
May Richard's soul rest in eternal peace. My son and I send my heartfelt condolences to his wife, Mrs Collins, his children, grandchildren and all his family.
ReplyDeleteEven while suffering greatly over the last several months, Richard was so selfless that he took precious time to send me some beautiful messages by email and included me and my son in his daily rosaries.
One of those emails was especially edifying and showed how very close to Our Lord, Richard was. If Mrs Collins and family thought it good to do so, I would love to share it with other struggling brothers and sisters in Christ to give hope and inspiration.
I am honoured to have received some truly Christian help and encouragement and friendship from a soul who was so far on the path to union with Our Lord God. I have learned from this beautiful soul, and believe he has had a lasting effect on my poor soul. I will pray for him always.
Requiescat in pace. Prayers for Richard and all his family. May Our Lady console you all.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
Louise Vaughan and family
Aloha, I am very sorry to learn of Richard's passing. My prayers are with your family. I am praying for the repose of his soul. God bless.
ReplyDeleteMay Richard rest in peace. Richard was one of the first to support my blog. His visits were always much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathy to the Collins family.
RIP
ReplyDeleteIn the sure and certain hope of the resurrection
May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

On his soul sweet Jesus have mercy
ReplyDeleteTo have known Richard has been a great privilege, and his prayers frequently sustained me. May he rest in peace.
His blog set a standard for literacy and wit, and sound orthodoxy. I was not privileged to know him, other than as a fellow blogger, but will miss him. We will remember him in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteMay God shed His Eternal Light upon you, Mr. Collins. And May He grant His Peace to the Collins family.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a privilege to be able to share in Richard's blog. God grant him rest eternal and light perpetual.

Ian in England
We loved him dearly. Tom, Elaine, Louise, Peter, Corey.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sudden and unexpected. I postponed visiting Richard in Wales because I thought 70 years was no great age, and perhaps later we could reminisce about our days together at St James's, back in the 1950's.
ReplyDeleteI feel utterly bereft at his passing, and can only offer his wife, family and friends my deepest condolences, and for the good and faithful friend that I knew him to be.
I'll always remember him in my prayers.
Rest in the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rosary intentions coming for Mr. Collins and his family. Requiescat in pace.
ReplyDeleteThe Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the repose of the soul of Richard Collins on Tuesday next, 14 October, at the Monastery of Annunciation Hermitage. Requiescat in pace.
ReplyDeleteDear Collins Family,
ReplyDeleteAs a Catholic Britophile, I have always enjoyed reading Mr. Collin's erudite, insightful, and orthodox blog, as well as communicating with him via comments, email, and skype. He was very kind to me, and publicized my poem about Our Lady of Britannia, which just last month, I finally recorded as a song at a studio. His encouragement went a long way in that.
My deepest sympathies are with you all, and I will keep his soul in my prayers. May Britain be granted more good Catholics like him who will rise up to carry on his work.
Will miss him. I pray we meet in heaven some day.
ReplyDeleteRosary intentions and a Mass are forthcoming.
God bless you and your family.
Rest in peace Mr. Collins! I enjoyed and learned from his beautiful Catholic blog.
ReplyDeleteI sadly only started following the blog in the final months of Mr Collins Life, Rest in Peace
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace and may you be comforted by Christ as your mourn his loss
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear of his passing. Sending prayers for he family, I'll keep him in my prayers.

Requiescat in pace, Richard. The Vaughan parents will always remember your unfailing support on you blog for our struggles. Condolences to your family.
ReplyDeleteI offered my Mass this morning for the repose of his soul. It was, coincidently, a Tridentine Mass, which I thought was appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI never met Richard, but feel I have lost a friend.
jacobi.
Requiescat in pace.
ReplyDeleteHoy rezaré mi Rosario por su eterno descanso, por su familia y por todos los blogueros católicos.
A sad and great loss,

Requiescat in pace. Prayers for Mr. Collins' family. I enjoyed reading his blog. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteMay you be enjoying the Beatific Vision of God, rest in peace brother Richard.
ReplyDeleteShall offer Tridentine Mass for Mr. Collins' tomorrow morning (St. Edward's). Condolences and God's blessings to the family. JMJ
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry indeed to hear this, although, given the amount of time that had lapsed since his last post, I feared that news of this sort might be in the offing. R.I.P.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace. May Our Lady comfort his family. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to read about Richard's passing; God bless him and his family. He was the one I turned to when discouraged and his gentle humour always lifted my spirits. Really look forward to meeting him in heaven, if I ever get there.... Requiescat in pace
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace. I shall miss him although I only 'knew' him online. My prayers and best wishes to his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteRequiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.
ReplyDeleteA sad and great loss!
My prayers and best wishes to his family.
A gentleman he was, through and through, and one of the true Defenders of the Faith we had on the internet. The blog scene will seem a bit barren now with such a loss, one that we can ill-afford just now. But may he soon be conveyed to the Beatific Vision that he so well deserved.
ReplyDeleteFarewell, my friend.
What a joyful warrior! Richard is - because he IS - yet another proof that God loves us.
ReplyDeleteDear Richard
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you've gone. Thanks for being an anchor and for encouraging me when I felt low about the Church. I'm sure Our Lady will let you hold the Taper, and you will be a light for us.
God bless you and your family.
Cardinal Vaughan parents will not forget your support in our hour of need.
ReplyDeleteMay you rest in peace and much love to the family.
Memory eternal my friend. You were a great support to me. Rest.
ReplyDeleteJason, formerly of Ascending Mt. Carmel
Dear Richard, I wish you were here.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord grant him blessed repose and eternal memory!
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear your sad news. May he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe Collins Family are in my prayers at this time. I will be offering my daily Rosary tomorrow for Richard's soul.
ReplyDelete+ amen.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in the peace of God that surpasseth understanding and may the Collins family experience consolation that he is now with God.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyed reading his blog from across the pond and look forward to a Tridentine mass and the opportunity to offer prayers for him and his family in Latin.
Many thanks for the St. Thomas More prayer card.
Dear Richard, thank you for your wonderful and courageous witness. Please do not forget the Catholic bloggers!
ReplyDeleteR.I.P.
God bless the bereaved family.
Richard, I'm so sorry we lost touch to the point that, when you went to embrace the Lord, I didn't know it for almost two months. You were one of the first of my supporters, and I remain always grateful for that. Please pray for us, as I pray for the comfort of your loved ones here on earth.
ReplyDeleteI have come too late...
ReplyDeleteI will carry him and his family in my heart during mass today.
Richard- dear brother, we will meet in heaven.
