King David the Musician / Artist: Joseph Aloysius Pippet / Location: Sacred Heart, Caterham / "David and all the people danced with all their might to honour God. They sang and played musical instruments — harps, drums, cymbals, and trumpets.” (1 Chronicles 13:8)

Isaiah prophesies about Egypt / Artist: Hardmans / Location: Sacred Heart, Wimbledon / "An oracle concerning Egypt. See, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.” (Isaiah 19:1)

St Raphael accompanies Tobit on his journey / Artist: Lavers, Barraud & Westlake / Location: Our Lady of Reparation, Croydon / "So Tobias went out to look for a man to go with him to Media, someone who was acquainted with the way. He went out and found the angel Raphael standing in front of him; but he did not perceive that he was an angel of God. Tobias said to him, ‘Where do you come from, young man?’ ‘From your kindred, the Israelites,’ he replied, ‘and I have come here to work.’ Then Tobias said to him, ‘Do you know the way to go to Media?’ ‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘I have been there many times; I am acquainted with it and know all the roads. I have often travelled to Media, and stayed with our kinsman Gabael who lives in Rages of Media. It is a journey of two days from Ecbatana to Rages; for it lies in a mountainous area, while Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.’ Then Tobias said to him, ‘Wait for me, young man, until I go in and tell my father; for I do need you to travel with me, and I will pay you your wages.’” (Tobit 5:4-7)

Hosea speaks of Israel as God’s child / Artist: Hardmans / Location: Sacred Heart, Wimbledon / “When Israel was a child I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. But the more I called to them, the further they went from me; they have offered sacrifice to the Baals and set their offerings smoking before the idols. I myself taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in my arms; yet they have not understood that I was the one looking after them. I led them with reins of kindness, with leading-strings of love. I was like someone who lifts an infant close against his cheek; stooping down to him I gave him his food.” (Hosea 1:1-4)
