It's 100 years today since Ernie Wise was born.
Half of Morecambe & Wise, the legendary comedy double act. Legendary in the UK at any rate.
Sadly, they're both long gone from this world - Eric in 1984, Ernie in 1999.
Eric’s centenary is this coming May.
And they might never have been – Ernie came close to ending the partnership in 1950.

Quote of the day, 22 May: St. Joachina de Vedruna
Vich, 19 December 1825
Your Excellency,
Joachina de Mas y de Vedruna, desiring to work for the glory of God and the good of others, wishes to embrace a few poor souls who are burning with love for God and long to become religious. But because they are poor and have neither resources nor a place in convents that live in poverty, they are unable to pour out their love to good Jesus.
Therefore, I beg you to grant me permission to receive into my home a few such souls who, through their labor and some alms, may sustain themselves and embrace poverty, following our Master Jesus Christ. In this way, they will also be able to live as religious women.
I make this request with the permission of my confessor and other spiritual advisors.
May God keep me.
At your feet, this sinner,
Joachina de Mas y de Vedruna
In the margin: 19 December 1825, submitted. Jesus Christ.
Saint Joachina de Vedruna
Letter 81 to Bishop Pablo de Jesús Corcuera, Bishop of Vich
Note: This letter, dated 19 December 1825 and addressed to Bishop Pablo de Jesús Corcuera of Vich, marks the official beginning of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity of Vedruna. Written just weeks before the congregation’s foundation on 26 February 1826, it expresses Joachina’s longing to serve Christ through a new religious community: one that was poor, apostolic, and dedicated to the good of others. As the Vedruna sisters approach their bicentenary in 2026, we honor Saint Joachina’s vision, which continues to flourish through her daughters around the world.
