Pontifical Vespers in Brompton Oratory

            Today is the feast of the 7th-century Saint Wilfrid who "stands out as the great defender of the rights of the Holy See. For that principle he fought all through his life, first against Colman and the Scottish monks from Iona, and then against Theodore and his successor in the See of Canterbury; and much of his life was spent in exile for this reason. But to him above all others is due the establishment of the authority of the Roman See in England, and for that reason he will always have a very high place among English saints".

Among the reforms from Rome that St Wilfrid championed was the introduction of Roman liturgy and chant. Hence this photo of Vespers celebrated by a bishop in the older Roman rite  seemed appropriate. 

It was taken during the Sacra Liturgia conference in London this July 2016.
