"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ
Mac, I didn't mean to suggest that Fr. Tim himself resembles the fictional Fr. Brown !! Perhaps I'm thinking of another character. But it's a smashing photo, and I think I would vote it the Photo of the Month, if not Photo of the Year !
Ma Tucker - exactly! Gosh, "The Equalizer" (we spell it with a "z" here in the States) was such a great series.
As for a caption, how about: "The vicar smiled, knowing his housekeeper fell once again for the old 'there's-an-unshriven-soul-in Kensington-needing-my-services' line on the night she planned to serve her new mango curry."

I'm Agree with Peter the photo makes you remember Fr. Brown that was my first thoght even thogh I don't know Fr. Tim at all Because I'm in Argentine!! Great Blog!!!
Fr Tim: What is that peculiar device you are brandishing Miss McLernon? Some newfangled device of the modernists?!
ReplyDeleteNow I wish we'd gone to the pub afterwards to meet some of you charming people. Wasn't it a great occasion!
ReplyDelete"Sadly the cardinal didn't offer me Westminster, but I did manage to cadge his copy of latest Remnant. Now, buzz off!"
ReplyDeleteThis not a caption, it's just a comment : What a splendid photo !
ReplyDeleteIt makes Fr. Tim looks exactly as I have always imagined G.K. Chesterton's Fr. Brown.
LOL Emitte... except that Fr. Tim is way ahead of me in the gadget department!
ReplyDeleteJMS - you'll know better next time!
Ches - ROTFL !
Peter - thanks for the kind comment. I have to disagree with you on Chesterton though!
I say this should be Fr Tim's picture on the Facebook!

I wish I could have been there.
Does Fr Tim remind anyone of Edward Woodward - THE EQUALISER, WICKER MAN fame ?
