An evening...

...with the Emmanuel Community, at the rather fine church of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington High Street.

Jamie and I first met the Emmanuel Community at Paray-le-Monial in the summer of 1990 with some Austrian friends. We were impressed. But I was not sure how it would be in  Britain on a rainy January night some thirty years later....

It was beautiful. A good crowd of people...rather tender temoinage from a woman describing how God - and Our Lady - had guided her through some family tragedies and to the adoption of a little boy...the beauty of glowing candles as people came forward to leave their own petitions before the Blessed Sacrament...it was a peaceful and beautiful way to start the New Year.
