...and praying very much for the Church today....
Confession and then MASS at Westminster Cathedral where, as Canon Christoher Tuckwell reminded us with a sweeping gesture of his arm to point it out, a great stone set into the floor before the sanctuary commemorates, with a Latin inscription, the fact that Saint John Paul - many of us remember it - came to the Cathedral and celebrated Mass there in 1982.
Then, with colleague Sarah de Nordwall, a visit to the superb celebration of Anglo-Saxon life and literature - glorious illuminated books of the Gospels, psalters, and more - in the British Library. A working lunch there, planning joint history/poetry/cultural events for 2019 with the Catholic History Walks and the Bard School....
...and then, a celebration Tea to honour St John Paul and talk about what he taught us, with sharing of books by and about him...
And may St John Paul the Great intercede for us all in the Church today...we need his prayers badly...
