Year of Paul

Image
Liz served at the mass on Saturday afternoon to launch the year with an impressive icon of Paul. She was mitre bearer (see her back view in picture!) She was in sacristy on Monday and had a heavy day changing all the colours for the Precious Blood dedication day. She also served at Mass for Blessed Rosmini on Tuesday and the 5.30 Mass.

St Paul's cathedral

Staff meetings today - there was discussion about unruly children. It's been quiet but there are signs of old troubles re-emerging. To St Paul's at the cathedral were singing vespers. Transport for London advised bus 344 to the Elephant and then a train from there to Blackfriars. I could also have stayed on the 344. I could not find the rail station entrance in time so used my initiative and got a bus 100 to the cathedral arriving at 5 p.m. Too late to serve of course but Liz did and there was full team including Deacon Peter and Decaon Ed, Fr Archer, Fr Michael Seed. Magnificent Palestrina and a fine sermon on Paul from Mgr Mark. I got the car keys from Liz and she set off for Stansted and Dublin for nearly a week which does not fill me with joy! I hate sleeeping alone! To Dvorak rehearsal and all 11 tenors for the trip were there! "Music and liturgy" has arrived.
