Blessings

I am at peace now about going to the Parish Mass and no longer yearn so much for the beloved Latin Mass. God's Will be done. We all had surprise at Mass this week though. Fr came on the altar before Mass and showed us the things he had been buying: new vestments, hangings to help us focus on the current season of the Church and a chalice. They were all stunningly beautiful and Father explained that he felt that as a Parish we should honour God by giving him the best we can in our service to Him. He also told us that when we arrive in the Church for Sunday Mass we will smell incense, this is to remind us we have left the everyday world for a while and entered a place of holiness. I feel so blessed by this news and a further blessing is that St Vincent De Paul have a large offering basket for donations of food for the poor in the church foyer and it is often full to overflowing. That too shows a Parish with a caring, loving spirit. God is good and I can trust him to guide my life. As we all can.
