We had the privilege of led talks and reflections from a priest who had led a retreat out in Italy and visited and photographed all the spaces and places crucial in Clare's life. She had us meditate on a picture of the same cross that Clare looked at for 43 years. Pretty amazing stuff.

I am a musician at my parish, and right now, at a neighboring parish, I am part of a group that performs a Festival of Lessons & Carols at Christmas.

The funniest/weirdest thing is though - your blog was very almost in my list, as I recently found it via quick takes and added it to my feed. But when I saw that Kelly had referenced your magnet post in her blog I figured it would be ok just to mention the "old guard" of bloggers as you would have plenty of excitement to deal with. (When I say weird, of course, I should make it clear I mean me.) Anyway, lovely to meet you!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210654343161593719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714705934434259449.post-86106307674717836242015-10-16T21:53:19.026+01:002015-10-16T21:53:19.026+01:00This is such a great round up.

It's sad that the sick (especially the terminally ill) are so marginalized from society that unless we are part of the medical field we forget about them. My husband is in seminary to become an Episcopal priest (in America) and he had to go through clinical pastoral ed which sounds like what you did. For him it wasn't too big of a shock because his mother has multiple serious illnesses, but for many of the students it was a shock just to see how many sick people there are. (Sorry, this comment is going on forever). It's good to have that burden of knowledge and compassion that you have, even though it hurts. That seems like a good sign that God is working through you.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112924098753896966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714705934434259449.post-65631271166061319612013-07-31T16:28:59.888+01:002013-07-31T16:28:59.888+01:00Just seen your blog, Sam, so many lovely baked goo...Just seen your blog, Sam, so many lovely baked goods!
