• How to be remembered

    I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich.

    I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers.

    I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards.

    I hope that money is not wasted on my obsequies which could be better spent on doing good.

    I hope that an Easter mass is celebrated not state-sanctioned pomp and pride.

    and speaking of blogging about today, Fr. Jonathan (MadPriest) has told us of his journey up to Glasgow to join you today.

    the rest of us are rather jealous and wish that we had been there, too.

  • Sermon – 18 September 2005

    I ask you. Which sounds more fun ? the fleshpots of Egypt or wandering aimlessly in the desert? It is not hard to have some sympathy with the children of Israel. Moses and Aaron have led them away from a life which was unfair though one which was mundane and familiar. And they have led…

You can almost hear the grass grow and can certainly hear it being eaten by the rabbits.There is a sense that everyone has been unable to face the day due for…
