Signs of a return to something closer to normality are slowly spreading. This week the Fraternity of Priests met "live" rather than via Zoom for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. This is the group of priests that I belong to who meet for prayer and support, and have done so since 1989. In fact, I am the only founder member still active in the group. The lovely thing is that Fr Andy was also a member before joining us here at our 3 Churches! Through the pandemic the group have met weekly via Zoom, each Wednesday at 12 noon for an hour including prayer, and another hour after lunch at 2.
It was fantastic to be together again. Five of us met here at St Brigid's, starting as always in the church with an hour together with the exposed Blessed Sacrament. I think we all felt a deep pleasure in one another's company once more, and look forward now to many more gatherings in the future.
It seemed to be a cause for something appropriate here on my blog. So here is the famous enormous thurible or incense burner at Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain. I think I may have put it on here before, but whatever...
