LMS Pilgrimage to Glastonbury - Pictures and Report
On the morning of the Glastonbury
Pilgrimage we woke up to low cloud and drizzle.
Not promising as the Lady Chapel at Glastonbury Abbey has no roof –
therefore open to the elements. We
passed through a heavy rain shower on our journey there but as we approached
Glastonbury a watery rainbow appeared in the sky and we took that to be a
hopeful sign.
In deed by the time the Mass took
place at 11:00 am it had all but stopped raining and at times we glimpsed
patches of blue sky. During the Mass we
only experienced a couple of short light showers interspersed with some
sunshine. Roughly about forty pilgrims
turned up, which included a large number of children, which was lovely to
see. We also had some people who were
visiting the Abbey and decided to stay for the Mass. Pilgrims came from within
the Clifton Diocese ranging from Bristol, Gloucester, Warminster,
Devizes and Forest of Dean and others have travelled from further afield
including Rural Dorset and North Devon.
Fr Philip Thomas was the Celebrant and
Douglas Thurlow the MC.
Fr Philip in his homily spoke about
the need to pray to Our Lady for help in these difficult times and to
evangelise our Christian Faith which was very appropriate as I was sat up on
the walkway above the Chapel (in order to take photos) and there was a stream of visitors passing
through. They included couples, families
and even a dog. Without exception all
showed respect, even the dog did not bark!
Some stayed and watched for a while, others passed through. The Rupert
Bevan Singers were directly under the walkway and the sound of their singing floating
on the air was truly amazing. Looking
down from above it seemed almost surreal to see this lovely reverent Mass being
held in the setting of this 12th century Chapel of Our Lady.
Due to a clash with another event a
brass band started playing just as we were due to commence our Rosary
procession round the Abbey grounds. We
had been assured that they wouldn’t start playing until later but unfortunately
some things are out of our hands. Fr
Philip quickly improvised and decided that rather than try and compete with the
band which as he said ‘Was bigger than us!’ we would say a Rosary in the
Chapel. So we said the ‘Joyful
Mysteries’ and as we started the band began playing ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at
the same time. Quite opportune really!
We then had lunch, some opted to
picnic in the grounds as the weather had improved slightly and others went over
to the Church Hall of the Our Lady of Glastonbury where we were very kindly
provided with tea and coffee. At 2:00 pm
we had Benediction in the Church at the Shrine of Our Lady.
We would like to thank Fr Finan for
allowing us to use his Church and Kim and Maggie who kindly provided us with
advice and hospitality. Also the Abbey
Trust for the use of the Lady Chapel. Last but not least we would like to thank
Fr Philip Thomas for celebrating the Mass and for the support of all the
servers.
