I shall pray for you in sickness and thank you for your own prayers, never fear that you may think them feeble God does not. "for when I am weak, then I am strong"Fr.

I've been rather unwell for the last several months, but news through the post on Saturday morning suggests that things might possibly not be as bad as was feared even a week ago. Perhaps if I am spared my health (and life), I'll pop along next year for moral support.<br /><br />As for those catholic-minded Anglicans still in the CofE, I find myself both utterly perplexed that you can conceive of a catholic identity within such an edifice, and at the same time I can fully comprehend why you must try. You have my prayers, feeble though they are.Stephennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390498117123968575.post-68295860857541846102013-06-16T08:03:23.426+01:002013-06-16T08:03:23.426+01:00You should try to go again.

Firstly all those who followed the innovations of women's priestlike ordination excluded themselves, secondly the most recent losses to the Ordinariate of OLW have had a massive effect on numbers which is understandable but very sad. Somewhat of a bereavement no less. One day perhaps we will see great crowds who shared the same Anglican patrimony again joining together at this most ancient and Holy site. Because it would rejoice His heart and be a sign of unity that we must all continue to pray for. Most likely this could only happen at present if an Ecumenical Pilgrimage could ever be developed. In the meantime we continue to pray for all who hold to a Catholic understanding of the Anglican church rent and hewn as it was from the undivided Church in the 16th. cent an accident of history which is no fault of those brought up in the British Church catholic in modern times who endure even stormier seas in many ways. Remember your faithful remnant O Lord and guide us into the way of truth and unity in You.Fr.

I'm rather shocked at how small it seems in these photos, compared to my memories. Is my memory failing me, or has it really dwindled that much?Stephennoreply@blogger.com
