Solemnity of the Nativity of St John the Baptist.

What a great day! 

Solemn Mass this morning at St Peter's followed by Adoration until Noon. The Privilege of presiding at a Funeral and then a wonderful Mass for the Staff at St Thomas More High at Westcliff.
 The message today is clear: we need to listen to the voice of the Baptist and take on his mantra as we prepare for the Second Coming of Christ.
