Edinburgh...

...and I'm writing this in Princes Street, right by the Scott Monument.  Mgr Patrick Burke, vicar-general of the dioceses of Edinburgh and St Andrews,  celebrates the Silver Jubilee of his priesthood today with a special Mass at the Cathedral and a reception afterwards...a joyful gathering of friends.

I am often in Glasgow, where FAITH magazine  is headquartered, and we usually gather in Edinburgh for our Editorial Board meetings: Fr Patrick is, among his many other responsibilities,  a leading member of the Board.  This evening, no work but just joyful celebration. Father Patrick serves the Church with wisdom and with great love and dedication, and today offers a wonderful opportunity to thank him...

Enjoy your stay in lovely Edinburgh. Not heard of Faith Magazine before. Will check it out.

God bless.
