I extend to each of you today the warmest welcome to this celebration of our Mass of Thanksgiving
I am very grateful to Bishop Rawsthorne and to Bishop McMahon for their invitation to join in this Hallam and Nottingham Diocesan Pilgrimage to this Padley chapel in honour of these much loved priest martyrs.
It is such a joy for us all to be gathered here today. The occasion is splendid, for we want so much to express our thanks and esteem to Albert, Carmel and all family and friends.
At the heart of the faith we celebrate at this Mass are the words of St Peter we have just heard: 'Set yourselves close to him so that you too, the holy priesthood that offers spiritual sacrifices which Jesus Christ has made acceptable to God, may be living stones making a spiritual house.'
As we enjoy this wonderful carol service of such beautiful words and music, my mind goes back to November when 100 people from the Diocese went on Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
