...a Lenten Day of Recollection organised by the Association of Catholic Women. Fr Alexander Masters from Westminster Cathedral led us in an inspiring meditation, with glorious music, on the Seven Last Words from the Cross. The music included some from the St Matthew Passion, some by James McMillian, and a final rousing "When I survey the wondrous Cross" with a magnificent Welsh male voice choir...
Fr. reminded us that the Cross is a central part of all our lives - and it's there all the time, with crowds hurrying through Charing Cross station and not knowing how its name originates, or using words like "crucial" or expressions like "the crux of the matter"...
In the afternoon a thoughtful and beautiful talk by Sister Camilla from the Community of Our Lady of Walsingham, on seeking and following God's will. This is a new and young community, and we plan a visit to their House of Prayer in the summer...
A good day, and a neccessary one for me.
