Last Saturday Pope Francis was laid to rest in Rome. Jorge Bergoglio, his real name from birth in Argentina, was a fan of his local football club San Lorenzo. In fact, he was a card-carrying member of the club. The eagle eyed among you will spot that Pope Francis was 88 when he died at 2.35am Buenos Aires time. His membership card number? 88235. The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

A huge thank you to all the people who joined this year’s Lent course.It ran over six weeks with the meetings taking place following a meal in the Sun Inn. We had a small contingent of faithful followers from St Peter’s Church, Hascombe but the bulk of the attendees came from Dunsfold - and the great news was that many of them were new to devotional meetings here.The basis for our get-togethers was the Lent course and videos put together by Fr Stephen Wang, Rector of the Venerable English College in Rome, and his young team at Sycamore FM. Their promptings helped us have some fine discussions about among other things the Existence of God, the Gift of Faith, the Power of Prayer and Finding True Freedom.Fr Stephen even sent our group a personal video message of commendation. In the past our Lent courses have attracted perhaps ten to twelve stalwarts. This year we had 28 people signed up but did sustain a blow when our leader, David Rivett, was forced to withdraw after suffering a hip fracture in a fall at home. Thankfully, David has bounced back and will be around for our next study group later in the year. Watch this space.
