Today we went to Benediction at my son’s school at the Little Oratory. It was an overwhelming experience; I could hardly hold back the tears.

Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is a beautiful service. It utterly lacks any intellectual content. One is just there hopefully in the presence of the Lord and receiving his blessing.

There is also something utterly angelic about a hundred boys’ voices. Pity the reality doesn’t match the vision!
