We went to confession at Westminster Cathedral today. They had four priests hearing confessions and we had to wait for about 20 minutes in line. It is so encouraging to see so many people making use of this sacrament!
Wir waren heute bei der Westminster Kathedrale zur Beichte. Vier Pfarrer haben Beichten abgenommen und wir mußten nur 20 Minuten warten, bis wir dran waren. Es ist schon ein gutes Zeichen, wenn man sieht, daß so viele Menschen Gebrauch von diesem wunderbaren Sakrament machen!
So wonderful to visit the Cathedral for confession. I remember passing it on the bus when I was there. I didn't get to see inside so I'm glad you posted your beautiful photos from Easter.
ReplyDeleteWe love going here for confession. There is always a line, but it moves fairly quickly and I like the fact that they do offer so many confession times during Holy Week. Some churches stop offering them after the Good Friday liturgy, but Westminster Cathedral does not. Westminster Cathedral, like St. Paul's, never got finished because they ran out of money, but it is still an interesting church.
DeleteI don't think our St. John the Divine uptown was ever finished either. That's nice they offer so many times.
DeleteSo many churches ran out of money! Cologne Cathedral took centuries before it was finished due to financial strains.
DeleteYes, it's always a stretch.
