I am writing to express my sincere ...Dear Dorothy,<br /><br />I am writing to express my sincere sorrow and deep deep sadness at the burning of the Notre Dame cathedral. It is a great heritage of humanity. I am so very sorry. I grew up in Goa and felt the extraordinary power of grace and mercy in the person of Jesus Christ and his church. I am not a Christian, but I do not doubt the divinity and reality of Jesus Christ as a holy, divine and singular man, or that he acts personally in the lives of those who choose to follow his path in this world and lifetime. So it with really with enormous sorrow that I am writing to express my deepest wishes to you and your family. If there is a contribution towards it rebuilding that you know of I would like to contribute.<br /><br />best wishes,<br />Aarti SethiAartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202043006358212299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599677908548805489.post-31620436825143072372019-04-29T12:27:38.837+00:002019-04-29T12:27:38.837+00:00Mrs. McLean, I have been reading your stories on t...Mrs. McLean, I have been reading your stories on the TLM in Edinburgh for a number of years, and we were blessed to be in attendance during the Triduum (we were the obnoxious Americans who didn't get the time correct for Holy Thursday and who managed to stand when everyone else was kneeling at the Easter Vigil). What a lovely little parish group!<br /><br />I was particularly impressed with the choir. These men took on a lot of chant and pulled it off very well (especially Good Friday, with two singers). I believe that Mr. McLean certainly earned his Easter Lamb and his drinks.<br /><br />In that small wooden church with a small congregation giving Almighty God the worship He has been given for millennia, it certainly had a Recusant feel, as if we had to constantly be on guard and hold tightly to the rites and to our Faith.<br /><br />God bless and Happy Easter!Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100728648574074611noreply@blogger.com
