...on pilgrimage. We had a special visit to the Tower of London, where St Thomas More's tomb is a place of prayer. A Beefeater gave us an excellent talk and showed us round the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. There was also time to view the Crown jewels...
At Westminster, we toured Parliament. Big Ben is still under wraps - even though we have all got used to this over the past months, it's still instinctive to look up to check the time when emerging from the Tube station...
We dropped in to Westminster Abbey to pray: there are now two icons there specifically for this purpose, with votive candles in front of each. Then Mass at Warwick Street, celebrated by the chaplain of the group - strong voices making the responses, good singing - and a cheery talkative fish-and-chip pub supper...
These young Americans are an encouraging lot, and with each new group each summer I get a boost and a sense of encouragement.
