Transeamus contra and Norfolk Potato

 

Transeamus contra

Ev s Marc 4,35
Let us cross to the other side. 
From the Gospel at Mass this morning of Vatican Radio.

2015 The Year of Consecrated Life

HE Cardinal João Braz De Aviz announced yesterday this special year. The celebration falls within the quinquagessimal anniversary of the Second Vatican Œcumenical Council.

Three encouragements present the year for all:

Fidelity amid challenge.

Make grateful remembrance of the recent past to embrace your future with hope.

Be living the present with a passion.

Refection

The Priory always served wholesome food. My first encounter with the Flemish Mystic Jan van Ruysbroeck. The Canonesses of Windesheim.

Today's lunch was breaded Atlantic Pollock, potatoes from Norfolk, salad. Kiwi, and a glass of diluted orange.


Mysterium mortis

The Mystery of Death

In the Liturgy of the Hours today, there was a beautiful reflection from the Pastoral Constitution of the Second Vatican Œcumenical Council Gaudium et spes

And I wrote to a friend

Dear R

Please may I express my sincere appreciation for the charming accounts that "Time, like an ever-rolling stream" brings to your obituarist's pen.

Your research and compilation are a lovely tribute to characters of C.

Transeamus contra.
