Llandaff Cathedral did a beautifully understated Mothering Sunday, with only a brief mention in the sermon. Any schmaltz had probably already happened at the earlier Parish Eucharist. The all-male choir were in fine voice, for the Wills 'Missa Eliensis' and Attwood's 'Turn thy face from my sins'. It was hard not to join in with the anthem, as it is a favourite of my own choir. We enjoyed catching up with one of the tenors, known from other choir connections, and also the new director of the RSCM, Lyndsay Gray.
It was good to be back at our own church after the break. More Lenten music was sung, including the hymn 'O Sacred Head' (sung as an anthem) and Stainer's 'God so loved the World'. Our singing apparently moved at least one person to tears - I hope it was for the right reasons.
Now it's time for the final countdown of Lent, through Holy Week and on to Easter.
