Message of Abbot Paul - Saturday - 27th April 2024
Abbot Paul • April 27, 2024
I do apologise for the lack of a message today. I was travelling all day yesterday, sleeping for much of the time. The journey back from Peru was not without its complications. We left Lima two and a half hours behind schedule due to an incident on board that involved police, security and airport staff. This resulted in a very late arrival in Paris and a four minute mile dash through that vast airport to catch my connection. Miraculously, I made it and am still breathing, but my luggage didn’t. No doubt it will arrive by taxi on Monday. Normal service, I hope, will be restored tomorrow. This comes with my best wishes and prayers for a wonderful day.
Fr Paul
It was wonderful to see so many people at the annual torchlight procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful magic and music with Fr Dominic and friends... all in a good cause.
At a solemn Mass, the feast of St Basil and St Gregory, Br Alban makes his promises as a claustral oblate.
