Archbishop Malcolm's Installation


Fanfares, challenging modern music, beautiful plainchant, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, deacons, religious, civic dignitaries, and hundreds upon hundreds of the faithful joined together to welcome Archbishop Malcolm McMahon of Liverpool today. After over two hours of beautiful solemn liturgy we processed out of the vast, modern Cathedral of Christ the King singing the praises of that King:

Angels, saints and nations sing : 
"Praised be Jesus Christ our King; 
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea, 
King of love on Calvary!"
You can read an account of today here. Archbishop Malcolm's homily is here.
The task of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ is for all of us.
We are all called to carry the Lord and be carried by the Lord.
