Today was the best attended Day with Mary that we have had in the parish; the Church was full for most of the day. During the tea break in the afternoon, a few people remained in the Church to watch before the Blessed Sacrament exposed (see above).Others were in the parish hall, for a short break, browsing the piety stall with its array of medals, rosaries and books.
And here is a photo of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate who sang the propers of the Mass. One sister gave me a USB stick for various files that I had promised. I loaded up pdfs of the Kyriale (Vatican and Solesmes editions), the 1961 Graduale, and the 1962 Missale Romanum. If you are looking for these, I think I found all of them via the sidebar (or links therefrom) of the New Liturgical Movement which I recommend to you.
Mac, the Mulier Fortis, has also posted some photos. See Shattered and The Afternoon Sessions...

Thanks for the plug... now, how much do you want to bet that you'll get all the comments?

What a beautifully arranged altar in honour of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
After all the insults he gets these days, the Lord must be very well pleased with everyone who contributed.
Mac has certainly put in some very hard work.
I very much like the photos of the Franciscan sisters.
Their big smiles suggest a successful Day with Mary at Blackfen, yes, but also that they have found true happiness in the lives they lead.
The photos of the Day with Mary are wonderful, Fr Tim. Very encouraging. Thankyou. We are hoping to get one going this year. It is a wonderful witness. We are finding, that many Anglicans are attracted to this spirituality as well.
