Mass today was in the Little Oratory at the Brompton Oratory, which I love.

Again the reading is suitable:

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

(Luke 6:39-42)

I was training for my son’s charity swimathon. Swimming under water is a curiously spiritual experience. Afterwards I went to mass. We were preparing for the Pope’s visit in two weeks time and I said a prayer for it.
