LIBERA ME, Domine, Iesu Christe, ab omnibus iniquitatis meis et universis malis,
fac me tuis semper inhærere mandatis et a te numquam separari permittas. Amen.

Well, what fun . . .

I spent some time on Saturday afternoon doing at least the main posts for Sunday, and then went off to spend the evening with friends . . . intending to take my laptop with me to Blackfen on Sunday morning, in the hope that I could then post some photos from there after the Missa Cantata, before driving to Oxford to be with my friends at Blackfriars for the evening Mass & Vespers.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out like that : because I was rushed to hospital on Saturday night, spent several hours in A & E, and was then unconscious for about twelve hours before coming round in a specialist Stroke Unit ! However yesterday, after I was subjected to a whole round of scans and diagnostics, no explanation could be found for my condition on Saturday . . . so I can’t tell you what had happened to me : all I know is that I lost the whole of the Assumption, and have obviously got to accept that something went severely wrong with my system.

I am deeply grateful to all the many people who have held me in their prayers for the last few days; unworthy of them as I may have been, I am very conscious of their enormously beneficial effects, and heartily thank God for them all.

I shall try and get back to postings in the next few days.

  1. Thanks be to God that you've recovered and that you seem to be coping with the situation well. It must be very frightening to 'lose' a day like that and also not to know why.
