The Vatican has announce that our beloved Cardinal is to be given an Auxiliary to assist His Eminence in running the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh. This has been mooted for a number of months and I am glad to hear that His Holiness has now accepted Cardinal O'Brien's workload (not to mention his health) is taking its toll.
The announcement as to who the Auxiliary Bishop actually is will be announced on Tuesday 8th May at noon (European time).
Tomorrow's announcement may well set the tone for the future as Scotland replaces two thirds of the episcopate in the next year or so.
Please keep both in your prayers tonight.

I'm Baaaaaaaack!
Thought after such a long absence I should announce my return in true hollywood fashion using the words of Randy Quaid (who played the drunken Russell Casse in the movie "Independence Day").
I did say in my December post I was going into hibernation for the winter but I did not realise it would be for so long. Mortality gave me a big wake-up call through a prolonged series of health issues. I am happy to say that the last of the many tests which my doctor put me through, a lung scan, has now come back all clear. I still cannot believe my doctor is the now very grown up little girl of an old work colleague and fellow parishioner.
A big Thank You to those who know me for keeping me in their thoughts and prayers over the past few months.
