With heartfelt thanks to the Chaplain of the Grand Priory, Dr Antony Conlon, we are presenting this Holy Week a series of Spiritual Reflections to allow members of the Order to make a person retreat, on Palm Sunday, and on the three days of the Sacred Triduum. Many of us do not have the advantage of being in places where much spiritual food is available in our parishes, and it is for these people that the Grand Priory exists to assist in their fully participation in the Mysteries of our Salvation.
The talks were first delivered as part of the Triduum Retreats which in earlier terms were held, of high successive years, at our Conventual Church in St John's Wood. (The editor has made only modest revisions, such as updating references to the then Cardinal Ratzinger, but readers are to accept them both as having been prepared a decade ago, and as being written to be read aloud.)
Let us make the most of these three days which hurry past us in the twinkling of an eye, and come to the joy of the Resurrection fully prepared by the fasts and spiritual practices of a good Lent well-lived.
The posts will come up early in the morning of each of the days.
On the evening of Spy Wednesday, 28th March, there is a monthly Conventual Mass, at 7pm at Spanish Place. This is a good opportunity to begin the last great days of Holy Week together, even if we are then to all go our separate ways.
