Walsingham

A number of members of SSIM and friends visited Walsingham today, accompanied by the Abbots of Farnborough and Christ in the Desert (New Mexico) and a Maronite Religious from Lebanon.

The visit included the SSIM duties in St Mary's Church, Little Walsingham, as well as on the site of the original Holy House and at the Church at Great Snoring with its marvellous medieval choir screen.

In St Mary's we were blessed to hear Frere Elie Abou Assaf sing a beautiful hymn to God the Father in syro-aramaic (very close to the language of Our Lord). In the Abbey ruins we sang the Salve Regina on the site of the Holy House.

All members of SSIM were prayed for at the feet of Our Lady.
