I subscribe to the liturgical thinking that the people all concelebrate, the priest/bishop presides, etc etc.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear the traditional format worked for you, though.<BR/><BR/>Hi Emma.

I don't think I have ever before made it the Maunday Thursday service. It was a bug Eucharist with all the clergy linked to the Priory concelebrating (6 in all I think).<BR/><BR/>There was then the procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose followed by the stripping of the altars as the choir sang Psalm 22. It was a very moving service; I was moved to tears.<BR/><BR/>We then kept a watch until Midnight. I didn't manage the whole time but I did about an hour and a half. It is funny how stting in silence on that occasion could be so moving. The most moving however was when Fr. Peter read the final passage at midnight (about the betrayal) and then snuffed all the candles one by one.<BR/><BR/>The thing that struck me most was leaving the church at midnight with all the pubs booming and people laughing and shouting. Somehow "is it nothing to you..." seemed very real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
