A great friend from Australia...

...Bishop Peter Elliott, was in London and celebrated a votive mass of the Most Precious Blood at the church of that name today. A most splendid Mass: the Children's Choir sang very delightfully, and Bishop Peter preached extremely well: I had no realised the significance of the word  "precious", and its link to the notion of being "beyond price"...

Bishop Peter has been a friend of the Bogle family for over 30 years, and it was a real joy to be with him. There was a cheery parish lunch afterwards,a large gathering at a long table, and he spoke to us all about the Church in Australia, the Ordinariate there, etc...
