...But at least the cotta is for somebody else.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

...A Cotta from Gamarelli.

Where could I be?

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

...Some shirts from Comandini.

And...

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

...a Faschia, also in Mancinelli.

And...

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Forgive me, Father, for I have shopped. I have bought an alb in Mancinelli...

And...

Praying hard for Pope Emeritus Benedict, whose health is rumoured to be worsening.

Sitting at the airport, having just been told that flight is delayed. By three hours. I love airports.

Music for tomorrow's 10.30 Mass at Warwick Street: Palestrina Missa Brevis and Weelkes' Alleluia I heard a voice.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

@kes_l_h I really did!

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

What a grace-filled week in Lourdes with HCPT. Just wonderful.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

@frjamesbradley Certainly will.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Where has the week gone? Rain in Lourdes, snow in London. Any chance of some warm sunshine. Please?

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Sunshine in Lourdes, candelit procession. What more could one want?

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Currently in a distinctly grey and chilly Lourdes. Off to the seaside with our HCPT group. Please, Lord, give us some sunshine!

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Wonderful Mass at Warwick Street this morning. Off to Lourdes for the week tomorrow. Marvellous. But at 4am?! Eek.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

@frjamesbradley Quite so.

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

End of a long but great day. Just wish the clocks weren't going forward!

[FrMark Elliott Smith @FrMarkES]

Good Friday. To Warwick Street later for the Liturgy of the Passion. Thanks to all those who have worked so hard to make Holy Week special.
