Son of David , Jesus have pity on me.
And many of them scolded him and told him to keep quiet.
But he only shouted all the louder , have pity on me.
And in generations past some refused to keep quiet.

The church of St Ignatius at Chideock is lonely .
It celebrates seven brave martyrs.
Put to death with barbarity , slowly.
Some laymen , some in holy orders.

In this quiet atmosphere.
Not a mile from the busy seaside you  will probably be alone.
But there is nothing to fear .
Or now after all these years to atone.

We celebrate now that we get along.
All entitled to our own praise song.

……..

Have pity on me
He shouted all the louder
And we do the same

……..

See Mark 10 : 46-52
