No lunch time service of reflection today, instead we will be holding an evening communion-cum-Tenebrae, a service of shadows, in which increasing darkness symbolises the night of Jesus' betrayal in Gethsemane.  I love the growing intensity of the week, in which we are carried inexorably towards the cross, swept along on a tide of events and emotions until we stand, speechless and powerless at the Place of the Skull.

Lots to do twixt now and then, but it is a privlege to be entrusted with this service.
