Moored in Mud

... in Montijo, across the Tagus from Lisbon. Drove here today, to make a long day tomorrow a little easier.

Posted our postcard to Bishop Budde before we left Mourão. Here is her sermon in full, in case you wanted to read it. Interesting that her third foundation for unity, humility, is exactly the same central message of the film Conclave: "we are perhaps the most dangerous to ourselves and others when we are persuaded, without a doubt, that we are absolutely right and someone else is absolutely wrong".

Gratefuls:
- getting here safely; each trip we make I'm grateful for safety
- delicious Punjabi meal we just had, not the sort of food available in the Alentejo
- getting closer to sorting some Member Care issues
