The organist librarian

This wonderful book for Lent is published by the Bible Reading fellowship and is by Sister Helen Julian. St Anselm, the Wesleys, John Donne and now Julian of Norwich provide inpsiring commentaries on bible texts. Highly recommended! The title sold the book to me as Margaret and I did a meditation for the spirituality day on just this theme last Easter!

The first of the Lent group meetings using the booklet "A Holy Nation" on Wednesdays at 4 p.m. went well and we had a useful discussion. The booklet is excellent. I am also reading "The Road to Emmaus" by Helen Julian CSF. This week she focuses on the Venerable Bede.Last week it was Thomas Traherne. We went to an interesting lecture about Traherne at Hereford Cathedral when we were staying at Belmont. I have never read the Bede's history of England. This photograph is of the Westminster primatial cross, which is actually very heavy to carry. I needed a crucifix for the Lent Group so I bought a simple wooden one at Knock.
