....St John Paul the Great, has his feast-day tomorrow, Oct 22nd. Today, with co-author Clare Anderson, I was giving a lecture about him at the CTS bookshop in Westminster. This was part of the Lunchtime Lecture series, and despite the fact that it was a rainy day, and that all attending the lectures have to stand as there is no room in the shop for chairs, we got a good audience.
Afterwards, mugs of tea and chat with the CTS team, great fun. And then a late lunch and catch-up session with Clare. Our EWTN programme on St John Paul is broadcast tomorrow. Our working sessions are always an agreeable tangle of swapping family news, organising research for the next TV/book project, checking and correcting material...plus ideas about books we're reading and current events in the Church and the world... This time there was lots of happy family stuff to share about forthcoming weddings of daughters and nieces, plus lots of discussion about the Synod in Rome, plus enthusiasm for various books.( I've ordered this one).
And we finished our discussions with a prayer invoking the intercession of St John Paul for all those at the Synod in Rome, and especially for Pope Francis...
