Celebrated our Foundation Day with Mass said by Fr Boniface Moran, Prior of Douai, who preached on holy disobedience (see the Gospel of the day for an explanation). While cooking the festive dinner, I wondered idly whether the concept of holy disobedience finds favour with any establishment, religious, political or what you will. So much of our lives are based on the premiss that life goes on in obedience to certain principles and laws. Next Wednesday CERN's Hadron Collider may push the frontiers of our knowledge a little further. I'm surely not alone in finding that, in the truest sense of the word, a wonderful prospect.
