I have spent a wonderful evening as Fr Damian Cassidy OCarm taught us about the Paschal Triduum on the understanding that from the beginning of Mass on Maundy Thursday, there was no blessing and dismissal until the end of the Easter Vigil, making everything in between a single liturgical act. He worked in today's Gospel for the Annunciation, in which Our Lady does not ask "Why?", but "How?"
Bringing us to this afternoon's ceremony in Canterbury. Archbishop Richard Moth found himself having to read out, ostensibly from Isaiah, that "a young woman shall conceive", a recent yet dated piece of hokum on which see, initially, here. And the passage from Hebrews 10 was omitted completely, when it has never been more urgent to proclaim the futility of the animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant. Christians must resist to the utmost any attempted restoration of the Temple cult.
