...week at the FAITH Summer Sesssion. A superb talk from Father Luiz Ruscillo on the Old Testament, crackling with wit and then gripping everyone with the unfolding drama of the Covenant...this is the way to teach and inspire...a glorious Mass, the singing soaring up to the rafters of the packed chapel... an excellent presentation on Blessed John Henry Newman, bringing to a new generation the story of this great figure of the Church in England. The big auditorium was spellbound. A moving and unforgettable look-back at 40 years of the FAITH Movement, memories and laughter, and a new generation hearing some of the stories. For some of us this was an unforgettable moment of gratitude and emotion...Auntie gulped as memories came flooding back of so many happy, happy times...
Talkative convivial mealtimes. Adoration in the chapel, with people kneeling in prayer, quietly coming and going. Night prayer with "The day thou gavest..." and the Salve Regina... A fantastic, glorious firework display - now that's something we never had back in the early years.A ceildh with all the young people twirling and dancing to Scottish music until a late, late hour, while their oldies (yes, that includes Auntie) socialised and enjoyed themselves, the beautiful panelled rooms of the old house a magnificent backdrop, groups gathering on the great stone steps and balcony overlooking the wide front laws with its illuminated statue of Christ against the darkening trees...
