...just got in from the History Walk around Chelsea. It was raw, damp and cold, but a little group of us met and actually enjoyed our Chelsea walk! We stopped at St Thomas More's statue and the church where he went to Mass every morning, and ended up at Allen Hall, the diocesan seminary which stands on land that was once More's garden...one of the seminarians was just coming out, well wrapped up against the cold, and another, in long black robe, just going in...there will be eight men ordained for the diocese of Westminster this summer, and some deacons ordained too. The mood seems to be upbeat. Interestingly, World Youth Day seems to be a factor in helping several of the men to think about the priesthood. It was strange to stand there in the rain and remember the heat of Madrid in the summer of 2011 at the last World Youth Day...
