A Perfect Storm

5th December 2013 saw an impressive storm hit large parts of the UK.  Here is how it looked on Stronsay, the island next door to Papa Stronsay.  Gusts were estimated at up to 80 mph, causing flooding in the village of Whitehall.

Wow, that'll blow the cobwebs out. I hope no villagers ended up with seawater in their living rooms.

I must admit to having given Papa Stronsay more than just a passing thought yesterday morning!

Great video Brother! After seeing this I'm rather glad we live rather more inland! I have been asked by my son Michael - a fairly experienced semi-pro. photographer himself, 'was it time lapse photography in places?'
I don't know what he means but I'm sure that you have the answer, which I will pass on to him. God bless.

Thanks for the compliment! No, there was no time time lapse photography used, it was just straight video all the way through.

Dear Brothers
I stayed in the hostel around the first week of November 2013
The tide was high but nothing like the power of this storm
I hope all in the village were safe
And that your little boat was not damaged
Kindest regards to all
Eddy and Erin

I loved the video of "let the sun shine in". I was smiling within 30 seconds and I have not smiled like that in a very long time. Bless you.

An Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops, Priests, Religious and Faithful

The attached letter expresses the convictions of our Congregation. This is not a task we embrace lightly. We have considered the array of possible punishments that the hierarchy may use against us - all mentally terrifying really, yet buttressed in the knowledge that the hierarchy has broken with the chain of command, which renders it human, and spiritually null. But when Our Lord’s honour is at stake, silence becomes a form of betrayal. We therefore take up this work with trembling hearts but with firm conviction, desiring only to defend the Holy Name of Jesus Christ and the purity of His Spouse, the Church. “ Every one therefore that shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father Who is in Heaven. But he that shall deny Me before men, I will ...
