A dull afternoon. My son Tony wanted to get out so we walked to the Mall where he was so appalled by the prices that he didn’t want to look at anything.
After yesterday’s intense Vigil, I walked about feeling almost hung over.
So many great moments from the Vigil that I will spend a few entries recounting them.
As I was saying, the lights were turned off in the Church at the start of the Vigil. Everyone attending was given a candle. From a fire set outside the church by the Priest, a candle was lit from which all the other candles were then in turn lit, producing a magnificent effect.
My taking of Communion was the culmination of a long spiritual journey.
Writers helpful in my journey: CS Lewis, Chesterton, Simone Weil, Josef Pieper, David Warren, Evelyn Waugh, Belloc, Chateaubriand, Sea Blogger, Pope Benedict,
