After
Communion during the Mass of Profession on 2nd February,
in the new Our Lady’s Chapel on the Stronsay pier,
the newly professed religious kneel together and return thanks to
God and to Our Lady
for the grace of their religious profession: “I am no longer
mine but Thine, my God.
Receive the holocaust by which I intend to give myself totally and
integrally to Thee….”

on Easter Sunday:
the blessing of the first fruits.

Every
year, at Easter, we are priveleged to be able to use this ancient

Mass for the blessing of the new Paschal and Baptismal waters.
After centuries it has returned to its place of honour. |
