One of the most moving moments today at Paisley Abbey. The Papal Nuncio and priests ended the visit by asking to sing the Salve Regina as the Monks would have done each day to end compline. Perhaps the first time this was sung there since the Reformation.

Dear Parish Priests. Want to appeal to young people? Put one of these out. Normalise the option for those who wish to kneel for communion. It'll increase reverence and accompany those in a synodal manner. Please consider it! Would you like it in your parish?!

It was deeply moving to see Catholics kneel at altar rails and receive the Lord at Mass yesterday in Edinburgh. We firmly believe that restoring rails and using them is a surefire away to Eucharistic revival and devotion.
