After Mass and Benediction this morning, I went over to Chislehurst to visit Fr Charles Briggs who can be seen in the above photo. For those who live in the Greater London Conurbation, the picture shows an oddly vacant sky. Later in the afternoon, I asked my servers to see whether they could observe anything unusual in the sky. I told them that this was a trick question since what was unusual was that there were none of the vapour trails that we usually see from aeroplanes. It is strange to see such a clear blue sky in the London area.
Some of my parishioners are stuck in places such as Alicante, Lanzarote, and Tenerife to which they have flown for an Easter holiday. I wish them every blessing for their extended holiday. For those who are desperate to get back, I pray that they will soon be able to travel. Some rain might help.

It has certainly driven most of the Benedict bashing articles of the main stream media etc.
With the Newman Society reporting that there have been over a million prayers for the Holy Father since Easter, suddenly we get a pillar of fire!
Dear Father
Yes- how amazing to see such clear blue skies across the nation these past few days!
It is of course a shame for those stuck overseas - and we've a friend hoping to get back by next weekend - but also beautiful to see the sky as God made it!
Bit hazier and chillier up north today though!
God bless

Salutations de Paris! Fortunately I had the foresight to travel here by train :)
If your servers couldn't work it out, it just proves that they aren't familiar with Sherlock Holmes . . . and the 'curious behaviour of the dog in the night time' !
