Lucky friars

We in the Friary have been specially privileged during the lockdown. Each day we have concelebrated the mass all together. We have time to take it leisurely. Distractions are fewer. For my part it has taken me deeper into the mystery we celebrated last Sunday. That Jesus calls us priests to say together: This is my body. We each have our allotted part to play in bringing Jesus truly present onto the altar, so it is a true statement of fact. Then Jesus comes into me. He is there already in spirit, through sacraments. Lockdown has made it easier to keep a little of this sense of Jesus being with me through the hours of the day. We are privileged. I hope it will not be long before you can again share this privilege with us. It is your right.
