Lucy Winkett

Purcell Hear my prayer in 2 parts. Love those clashes. Played Bach aria Descent from the Cross from St Matthew passion and Fantasia in C minor. Elaine is back Praise the Lord!Enjoyed Anne-Marie Garton's sermon today about Mary pouring nard over Jesus' feet. We even got hand cream to smell! That's a first!  Revd Lucy Winkett packed room at St Paul's. She spoke so movingly on the Cross. We can look away, or look, or be looked at. The link with the empty tomb and Eucharist vital. We must contemplate atrocities now. Half the nations of the world torture. It is easy to have a lukewarm response to suffering until it comes to us.
Be near me Lord when dying, that I may fight befriended.... The cross of life. Everywhere there are mothers and children uncomforted.
Duck for lunch. Evensong Willan setting got changed to Batten. Benediction - organ too loud again.
The Durrells and Victoria both excellent.
