Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui.
(Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)
Thank you! As it happened, I had all the people kneel down after Mass yesterday for a few silent moments. Priest and servers knelt in front of the altar, and all the people did too for some moments. The people where then invited to leave silently each in their own time after the priest and servers had left. I needed to do something about the noise levels in the church after Mass - people were asking me to do so. It worked! I'll be doing it again next Sunday and Bishop Gilbert's letter will help me preach on this topic.
Have a wee read of Bp Hugh Gilbert's pastoral letter for yesterday!
