This is a photo from last year (I was also there then). I only managed to take three or four photos and cannot upload them! I don't know how many people were there this year, but the big tent seemed to be full for most of the main sessions. I spent some of my time on the "healing team" praying with people along with a friend from North Wales. Since I am involved in the deliverance ministry I had some work to do! I also presented two workshops - one on the Christian Virtues (which did not go very well) and the other on Our Lady (which was better). On Wednesday I had the honour of being chief concelebrant at the Mass in the Abbey grounds. This was the 650th anniversary - to the day - of the singing of the last Salve Regina before the closing of the shrine (under Henry VIII). We had a beautiful rendition of the Salve by the music group before we began the Mass. This year is the 950th anniversary of the founding of the ancient Walsingham shrine.

ReplyDeleteEven in a gathering of Christians?
Glad you enjoyed the week. You never know who you might have influenced.
Regards.
The reason that workshop did not go well was that I had not done enough preparation, even though I had been reading up on it for weeks before. Actually, when you get into it, the topic is pretty complicated.
