Happy Palm Sunday!
Despite some fine misty rain this morning, we were able to gather outside the church and process in, with our palms, joyfully singing.
We would like to share with you the last 2 verses of a poem by G.K. Chesterton, “The Donkey”, that Fr Ted, our chaplain quoted at mass:
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
As we begin Holy Week this year, let us pray for one another!
