Not a pamphlet but a person...

New beginnings, both at home & abroad. Congratulations to Fathers David, Christian, & Johnathan Orr on their new assignments. It's a little sad to say goodbye to familiar places & to leave old friends, but we are always called to new places to make new friends.

The new Archbishop of Westminster & primate of England & Wales, Vincent Nichols, was enthroned in his see yesterday. The homily is amazing - please read it if you have a chance.
...
Westminster Cathedral is an amazing & enchanting place, alive with the history of the Church in England. It's choirs are simply the finest in the world. But it is really the massive Byzantine crucifix over the sanctuary that really focuses one's attention amongst the music & mosaics: Christ & him crucified. May God bless the new archbishop, & all our priests, & increase their tribes.
