I did intend this to be a private tweet. Clearly someone will have to give me Twitter lessons!

@LMSChairman Dear Mr Shaw,
I am a priest of Brentwood Diocese (and Gareth Copping’s parish priest)
If I say how I understand the boxes, please could you not quote me?
I don’t think this was intended for public devotion.

[Essex Catholic @UoECatholic]

Nor, I think was there an intention to have public devotion.

God bless,
Fr Mark

So this was not intended as a form of tabernacle.
The consecrated hosts were in silver Ciboria.

[Essex Catholic @UoECatholic]

It seems to me that the consecrated hosts were put in place before the Mass so that people could receive Communion.
I walked past a number of these stations late at night on my way to collect the vestments. In some places, there were people kneeling in prayer.

@Theotokos_Books Hello Donal,
I think we have met a number of times, through Fr Edwin Gordon.
I’m on my way to Fatima with a group and we have a coach journey. I would like to suggest a video for them to watch online.
What would you suggest?
God bless, Fr Mark

[Cardinal Nichols @CardinalNichols]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pope Benedict. He will be remembered as one of the great theologians of the 20th century.
I remember with particular affection the remarkable Papal Visit to these lands in 2010.
