We have just had a joyous evening with entertainment from members of the group out on the terrace of the Pilgerhaus. (I did not take photos for fear of spoiling the occasion.) Thanks must go to Fr. Dominic for putting on an intriguing magic show, Rupert, Richard, and Phil for their readings, and Trudie for singing, and leading us all in "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". The finale comprised seven Old Boys of Downside School (Fr. Leo, Fr. Dominic, Simon, Mickey, Rupert, Zak, and Sergio), with guests, Annabelle and Alice, singing the School Song. I was really surprised that they could remember the words!
Today has been a rest day, but despite this, it has been very busy for everyone. We started with a "full works" Mass, including Gregorian Chant, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, next to the German Benedictine Monastery of the Multiplication, where we are staying. Mass was combined with a Memorial Service for Dee, John's fiancee, so it was a very important occasion. Here are some pics, including a couple of the group.
