I am missing you all very much during this Lenten ‘wilderness’. Many of you are aware that each morning (except Wednesday) I am offering the Mass on “your behalf” and in spiritual communion with you all. St Catherine of Siena described a spiritual communion as a “Silver Chalice” being raised up by the faithful to the “Golden Chalice” of Christ. During Morning Prayer and especially at daily Mass I may be ‘alone’ in the beloved JPII room, but I can really sense that the room is filled spiritually with all my brothers and sisters of the Parish and beyond. May our love and appreciation of the Mass and the Sacraments deepen at this time as Christ draws each one of us closer to Himself.
