....Church in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, is the Catholic church serving theatreland. A prayer group meets there regularly, dedicated to St Genesius, the patron saint of actors, and to Blessed John Paul. I went along this evening - a beautiful Mass, then a time of silent Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, finishing with the Rosary, and finally Benediction...afterwards a talkative get-together over hot drinks and snacks at a café in The Strand...the group is led by Father John Hogan, who broadcasts regularly with EWTN, and tonight's gathering included people involved with the music industry and radio...topics ranged over Pope Francis(will the pack turn on him when he reaffirms Catholic teachings on marriage? We must pray for him and support him), Pope Emeritus Benedict (general view: he'll be a Doctor of the Church one day), miracles, prayer, soap operas (discussion: could EWTN ever create a successful Catholic-based one? Probably not...) and more...
Home v. late, last Tube pulling out of London on the District Line. At the moment, I carry my cross-stitch work with me to do in odd moments, and have nearly finished another hassock for the church in Pembury...
