Fr Charles Briggs, assisted by myself and Fr John Boyle, celebrated the High Mass at Aylesford today for the annual pilgrimage of the Latin Mass Society. Above you can see us framed by one of the arches in the surviving part of the old cloister.There were many groups at Aylesford today, including one with Fr Angelus of the Franciscans of the Renewal. Unfortunately I had to get back after a quick cup of tea and a sandwich after Mass in order to hear confessions in the parish. The Southwark Diocesan Unity Commission was there with Bishop Pat Lynch who kindly came over to have a chat with us before Mass.
In my sermon, I spoke of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, her devotee, St Joseph of Cupertino, and the privilege of being able to visit the shrine and the relic of St Simon Stock:

I would SO cast the three of you in 12th Night. Obviously Fr. John as Sir Andrew, you as Sir Toby, and Fr. Briggs as Feste. Now, who should play Malvolio? I wonder what Fr. Z's "quote" is? Mac, obviously for Maria.
Dear Father,
Your blog is very good. I am a Catholic priest from Vancouver, Canada. I also have a blog, and I use it to post sermons & talks, and to keep in touch with my students & group members. Here is my blog:

Let pray for one another. God bless!
An interesting graduation in heights. In a church lacking appropriate steps if South Ashford priest were celebrant and you Father were sub-deacon...
Fr.
Good for you three and the LMS. The photo rather reminded me (in reverse)of the famous John Cleese sketch, 'I know my pace'!
My blog is now afloat, under the title, 'Thoughts from an Oasis in French Catholicism'. Hope you agree - a more positive title in keeping with the Holy Father's thinking, Spes Salvi etc.
Still working on presentation and learning something every day. Hope you have time to take a peek. Will be most grateful for any boost you can give.
Thanks again and God bless.
In Christo pro Papa,
Jane
Fr Ho - very good to hear from you. I looked over at your blog and was impressed with your teaching and with the materials that you use.
Rubricarius - with Fr. Boyle as subdeacon, and only one step, the height difference was indeed interesting!!
