Eastertide - it was joy to hear from you.
I am delighted your Easter greeting on 'A Holy and Illuminating Pasch'.

Of the
half-dozen texts of a woman anointing the feet of
Jesus, the text which best corresponds to
the Eric Gill engraving
is that
of the unnamed woman at the house of Simon the Leper at Bethany (Mk
14,8), whose anonymity breathes out the highest sincerity.
How
well the artist instinctively brings the fullness of Paschal reference. in
Jesus',;ght hand the Eucharistic cup containing the whole,
destined
to be the Memory-which-makes-present through Millions of
celebrations;
the
outspread {eft arm and hand embraces
the Cross-vacated Calvary and the empty Tomb. In
Jesus humanity is added to Divinity in closest
Oneness,
and
infinitely so!

Dear Father Donald,
Thank you for sending the material about the TV programme.
I am always uncertain how to break through the difficulties to pick up a programme like that. I have tried, but I have failed again this time.
Nevertheless your selection makes it clear to me about the essence of the programme. Thank you very much for that.
The double canonisation was a literal spiritually touching event. The Sister Superior from here was present, and returns on Friday, and will have met the Pope.
Blessings in Domino,
fr Edward O.P.
