The Forty Hours underway

The Forty Hours is under way and almost every hour is now covered by volunteers to watch. I just hope the candles last. The heaters in church blow hot air around which makes candles gutter (they are also annoyingly noisy) but it is too cold for people to sit for an hour without any heat. Here`s a photo from a few minutes ago.

Nice one. Let's just hope that everyone who put their name forward sticks to their commitment and makes this a true parish event.

Well all is going very well so far. Going to bed now but returning for the 5am slot.

What a fine collection of Candelabra!

I miss midnight adoration. We had it 24/7 at the tiny institute where I studied theology. I'm very lucky that we have it every day in the parish from noon until after the 7pm Mass, but I do miss so much those midnight hours alone in the chapel before the Blessed Sacrament!
