A little bit of Basil…

My mum sent me this lovely quotation the other day from the late Cardinal Basil Hume:

Once, while preaching in a parish, I suddenly caught sight of a young mother with her child, and you could see the love between them. I was terribly tempted to say to the Congregation: ‘Forget what I am saying and look over there, and you will see what we mean to God’” – Cardinal Basil Hume.
