The Water Boys sing a song
containing the lyrics,
“I just found God
where He always was!”
and this morning
as I enter our tiny chapel
for Latin Mass,
this is exactly
how I feel.

During Covid
we visit many churches
throughout Belfast
and far beyond
in our search for Sunday Mass.
This feels a bit
like being in a pin-ball machine,
shooting about
from parish to parish
as we try to find somewhere
that suits.

Nowhere feels just right.

Then one day
we step into the tiniest of chapels,
the simplest of chapels,
a chapel that feels to us
just right.

And where is this elusive chapel?
Right at the very top
of our street!

I just found God
where He always was!
Isn’t that amazing?
And isn’t that simply wonderful?
