After a second walking of the Holy Mile in Walsingham yesterday, Maddy was out for the count. Having often swiped her mum's mantilla, we bought her her own in Walsingham at one of the devotional shops there. She woke up during the homily at the sung Mass, and demanded a blessing during communion! Only this time I had to be careful because she tipped her head back and stuck her tongue out!!There was no holy water in the stoups at Walsingham due to the Swine Flu pandemic.
How very sweet that she longs so for Holy Communion!
ReplyDeleteThe missing Holy Water from the font is really annoying! Luckily, I have my own stash - given to me by some ladies of the parish from Lourdes....in a gin bottle.
