The new lectionary has now been in force since the beginning of Advent last year. I say “in force” rather than a more neutral expression, because there was no question of parishes choosing to adopt it, or even vary the timing. It came to us out of nowhere and was presented as compulsory. Now we have sung our way through the joys of Christmas and Eastertide. We have experienced both the high points, the greatest feasts, of the Church’s year in this new format. How is it going for you?

When our new Pope came out on to the balcony for the first time to address us all, he also took the opportunity to praise the Queen of Heaven, and ask for her prayers. It was a touching and simple gesture, in which many of the crowd in St Peter’s square happily joined. The conclave took place after all in the month of May, Mary’s month.

Read Kate’s latest for The Tablet– New Pope. New hopeIt was very sad to hear that the late Pope had died (on Easter Monday morning), but on the other hand, what a great day to go, with heaven having its biggest celebration of the year, and how characteristic of the last Pope to make his last appearance blessing all of us, urbi et orbi, on Easter Sunday. It was a perfect way to be remembered, and we pray for the repose of his soul with serene confidence and hope. But now what?

This is the time of year for several special services. First Communions, Confirmations, Mothers’ Day, Lady Day all seem to be in spring or early summer, and we aren’t even into the wedding season yet, especially with the weather we’ve been having recently. Most people expect music at a celebratory service of whatever nature in church, and quite right too. Music brings people together, it wakes them up and calms them down, it can be a source of great comfort and solidarity.

Fancy a singalong with the Pope? Here's my latest for @The_Tablet on the prayer he sang on St Peter's balcony. We're teaching it to the congregation; it's short, it's easy and Youtube means you can pray with Leo as well as for him. https://t.co/PLD88vbrmF

Would you actually want to be choosing the next Pope? It's an awesome responsibility. But I'd like to know that the discussion at least covered certain topics. Here's my latest for @The_Tablet on why we need to pray for the cardinals. https://t.co/VJuY47Rd6n
