We have had two glorious Spring Days in Jerusalem, 20 C degrees sun, warm wonderful. About 1630 the clouds came in, tomorrow is promised to bring heavy rains, cold blustery winds, grey skies, and snow up north. That groundhog didn't work so well for us. Instead of surrendering to depression and misery I searched for something to brighten my spirits and came up with this on Youtube, put up by our good friend Johnny Walker. Thank you so very much, you and Sister María Asunción have helped me through this part of the Winter.

Thanks scruffy1, this brings back lovely memories. After hearing Sister Maria Asuncion sing at a Pilgrim Mass I hung around in the Cathedral for quite a while looking for an opportunity to get a photograph of her to show my Mum. She is a very busy lady, but eventually I managed to get her to stop for a few seconds and I took this very grainy selfie. I don't think Sister was very happy about it, but I certainly was. Buen Camino.

Sister has a voice like an angel! Over the many years she has been singing and leading the responses at Mass in the Cathedral, her voice seems to have tuned itself to the Cathedral acoustics. Maravilloso!

I cannot wait to get back there to hear her again...among other reasons...
