Thank you to Fr Finigan for offering Holy Mass for us last night at St Mary Moorfield’s, Liverpool St/Moorgate. Thank you also to Fr Newby (the Parish Priest) for the use of his church and facilities at the last minute! We would also like to extend thanks to Mr Schellhorn and Cantus Magnus, Mr Dimon the MC and the servers, and to everyone who came.

After the Requiem we descended into the hospitality facilities of St Mary Moorfield’s, where we had a convivial glass of wine and crisps until the pizza arrived. After this we cleared up and went to the pub.

We are not entirely sure when our next Mass is – please watch this space!

New Roman Missal

It’s Greek to Me: the Kyrie eleison

It’s Greek to Me: the Kyrie eleison


At Holy Mass, following the Confiteor (I confess), we sing Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy). When we make this sweet cry for mercy, we usually are begging forgiveness of our sins. Yet in the Scriptures people cried for mercy to our loving Lord also for healing and help for themselves and for those they loved. The singing of the Kyrie chants are such a beautiful way to make such a call to God “last” longer so that we may better enter into this prayer ourselves as well as entrust to the Lord those for whom we pray. So often the music that clothes the words makes such a joyful noise. This expresses our confidence and joy in knowing that our Lord is merciful and full of compassion for all those who call upon Him.
