A voice in the wilderness



It can sometimes feel that espousing belief in this unbelieving age of immediate gratification that we are voices in the (spiritual ) wildernesss. We were reminded both by Father Mark and in our readings that preparation requires time and patience. Choirboy was somewhat crestfallen to be reminded by St Peter 'That with the Lord a day can mean a thousand years' - Patience has never been one of his greatest virtues !

Musically today we progressed through the second Sunday in Advent with some musical references to John the Baptist as well as our new mass setting. Father Mark also sang the Concluding Rite and although nervous at first soon got into the role and sang very well - we will repeat this in two weeks.
