[Magdalen] Corpus Christi

Thu Jun 11 21:40:10 UTC 2020

Marion, that is very kind of you! I shall pass the message on to Fr Isaac (Provost) and Chris Cromar (Director of Music/organist).

You would be more than welcome any time you are here!

The service can still be seen online for anyone interested.

Best wishes

Ferdinand

Ferdinand,

I shall go back and watch the whole thing because my badly-managed day
brought me in at the post-communion prayer.and so on to the Adoration --
 humeral, incense, Blessing, Tantum Ergo, Divine Praises, and all.  I burst
into tears, such was the impact.  I believe I'm starving for larger than
life -- Everything.

The organist is fabulous.    What a treat!  The Provost has great warmth to
him.

Marion, a pilgrim
