Our Lady in the streets of London

I’d like to thank the Maltese once again for Malta Day which took place in London on September 11. It was a pleasure to receive Archbishop Paul Cremona and those Maltese who came to London especially for the event.

The choir from Gozo sang beautifully and I found it a great pleasure to join in all the hymns in the Maltese language. I was priviliged to be asked to carry the banner of Il-Bambina in the procession at the beginning of the Mass and afterwards through the streets of London to the Chapel of Ease in Horseferry Road.

It is rare that Our Lady makes her presence known in the streets of London in this “post- Christian” era, and again I thank Malta for coming to London to make this rarity possible!

I look forward to Malta Day UK next year and am pleased that it has become firmly established as a regular event.
