Goodbye St David Lewis

[Kate Jackson]

We have finally sold our house. We will live closer to the Mass and perhaps I will be able to continue saying the Divine Office with it's noble and ancient lineage together with the religious in the new location, but I will miss St. David Lewis I have visited the place of his martyrdom many times now. The pilgrimage is a regular prayer of my muscles, feet, blisters...good kind of prayer when words get dry and feel empty. Each time I have completed it either with companions or alone the return journey has revealed the answer to spiritual problems or focussed me in a new direction. I have a lump in my throat as I consider leaving my beautiful, wet, windy, Wales family roots do go deep - but we are shaking the dust for other reasons. So I am very grateful to the Church for making the communion of the saints so visible. I am not holy or clever and yet they still allow me to join them. Deo Gratias.

Best wishes on your move.
