Message of Abbot Paul - Saturday 2nd September 2023
Abbot Paul • September 1, 2023
I took yesterday to be a day of rest, peace and quiet. For me it was a touch of heaven, a day of silent recollection, something I had been wanting and needing for a long time. So today, there is no message as such, if you will forgive me, only a few words to assure you that all those who read this message are in my thoughts and in my prayers. I hope to be back tomorrow as usual. Every prayer and blessing.
