Today the Triumph of the Cross as the Roman Missal puts it or Holy Cross Day as the Church In Wales Prayer Book calls it brings to mind Holy Cross Church where I worshipped during my teenage years. So it was good today to be able to Preside at the Eucharist twice. First at the Cathedral at 7am and then at St Luke's Canton at 6.30pm. I had not presided at St Luke's before so it was a special privilage and wonderful to celebrate in the Anglo Catholic tradition that I had been used to before my ordination.
Very challenging funeral this morning! (Enough said) Being told to Shut up within the first thirty seconds was not a good start. Nevertheless it went okay after that. But it was a large contrast with the memorial service of Linton Slack one of the Cathedral parishioners which was a model of Anglican dignity. After that I headed out and about to deliver some things to parishoners and did some visits. Back then to chaperone choir practice before Youth Group. No one turned up tonight apart from my helper and we had a chance to chat about meditation etc. The early arrival home meant that no one else was back yet so I took the opportunity for some meditation which when I have done it always makes me think I should be more disciplined about it. Though today as well about some of my current projects and commitments and looking at how many of them I need to consider cutting back on.
The Rover backbox fell off this morning which was inconvient if not a little funny but more on that later!
