Today Father Martin presided and preached at the Parish Mass on a wonderful summer’s day in Romford. The church was near capacity with some 21 children present. Father Mervyn was officiating at St. Alban’s, Romford as many of that parish are on their annual pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. In his sermon, preached on today’s Gospel, Father Martin reminded us that the rule of Leviticus required there to be two witnesses, hence Jesus sent the disciples out in pairs. They were to accept the hospitality offered them and give their peace to the homes they visited. This was reminiscent of the hospitality and peace offered by the Ishmaelites. We needed to ensure our souls were “clean” so we too could be witnesses and we should work to ensure our names, and the names of others were stored in heaven’
