I am away on Retreat from today until Saturday lunchtime so there will be no blogging until then. The Retreat is organised by the Society of St Catherine of Siena and Fr Ignatius Harrison is the preacher for the Retreat; the theme is "The Roman Mass, the Blessed Sacrament and the Priestly Life". It is at Belmont Abbey which I have not visited before so I look forward to seeing it. I know a couple members of the Community from the Merton Conferences. The first evening we will be celebrating a Solemn High Mass in the parish Church in Hereford which I understand has been magnificently restored by Fr Michael, a member of the monastic community who is also the parish priest.
The train ride is very relaxing - a lovely journey through the English countryside. You know when a station is coming up because you start to see houses. I enjoy these journeys because I am usually travelling through Greater London.
I will remember all of you readers in my prayers while I am away.

Hope you have a good, restful, and fruitful retreat, Father.
Dear Father Tim
Thank you for the UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY Belmont Abbey Retreat prayers for all readers of the The hermeneutic of continuity.
Padre Steve aka Father Steve Leake,a Salesian of Don Bosco,has kindly posted my "Remembering the Battle of Fredericksburg" comment on his Blog Da Mihi Animas.The'between the lines' art/music by Josh Turner is certainly a cut above the Deep South,Country & Western stage act that Charlie Kray promoted with a neo-Nazi salute at the St Paul's Crypt KRAYMAYDAY SE8 event.
I thought that as Padre Steve's bloggers profile reveals that he is interested,in all things New Orleans!,that I would alert him to my own New Orleans 'experience' i.e.. vesper has left a new comment on The hermeneutic of continuity post "DVC prompts violence against priest".
As a Deptford Albany orientated artist/surveyor/musician my 'between the lines' case for the defence against wicked NF/BNP/KKK neo-Nazi entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning Arena includes the 'Arts Lift'YouTube video - Roy Hobson (From Dark to Light Too) which was performed in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham for www.spreadtheword.org.uk 's cityofsharedstories.
As you know I have three wonderful children,and although I have never had gay sex in my life,I am still called a 'poof' (among other things) for including STONEWALL in my emergency communications.
My poor old mum and dad find this whole London development business very confusing indeed.
Hard evidence relating to my high profile FARE JUSTICE NOT VENGEANCE FOCUS 1991-2008 :MPS ref PC/2571/07 case for the defence against NF/BNP entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning Arena,which was originally backed up by a malevolent prosecution by CID Greenwich after a phone call made by Steve Taylor of the TSG,has been handed to MPS Assistant Commissioner Robert Quick MBA by DS Ian Coleman of the MPS Directorate of Professional Standards,Internal Investigations Command.
Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us in Richard Barnbrook's NF/BNP/GLA/LDA NEO-NAZI DEVELOPMENT TIMES Amen
