Easter Vigil
A nice meal at Pizza Express 2 courses for £10. The Vigil was superb - we were tapers and Communion torches. Details were changed at the last minute which is not a good idea. There was a scare when Emmanuel was carrying the lit EAster candle up the ladder to the stand after the baptisms. The candle went to the right and he ws lucky not to fall. Vierne Messe solenelle stunning, Palestrina Sicur cervus, Bassano motet.Langlais at the end. Archbishop Vincent gave a wonderful homily about the risen human body of Christ once again quoting the Pope. He brought a human touch to the baptisms handing the towel to the candidate himself and thanking Fr Tim for his hard work. It was good to be able to thank Martin, Peter and David personally. We started at 8.30 p.m. and finished at 11.10 p.m.
