St Peter's Keys and a little piece of heaven

Cachito de Cielo, Madrid
Can you see the  blessed sacrament  in the monstance?
Can you see the statue of St James?

Following the challenge of where will you take St Peter's Keys, a blog reader from St Gregory's parish in the Lancaster Diocese decided she would take a picture of her daughter with some keys when the family visited Cachito de Cielo, (Little Piece of Heaven), church in Madrid.

Today the church belongs to the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and Immaculate Mary. It is a surprisingly quiet oasis at the city centre, where everybody is welcome to enjoy the Permanent Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year around, this is certainly a luxury nowadays.

We went there to participate in the Celebration of the Mass on the 25th July, for the Feast of the Apostle James, the brother of John and Patron Saint of Spain, for he was sent to bring the Good News of the Gospel to the Roman Province of Hispania (Spain). After his martyrdom, St James' relics where brought and buried in the actual Santiago de Compostela, the final destination of all the pilgrimages of the Camino of Santiago, Way of St James, (Santiago in Spanish). In Spain, despite being a working day the Feast of St James is celebrated as a Solemnity. 

 Where in the cathedral (or maybe your own parish church) would you find something that reminds us of St James and Santiago de Compostela?

At the Cathedral and St Thomas More's we have regular times for adoration, you can find details on our prayer page or in the weekly newsletter, which also contains any extra times of adoration organised for specific intentions.

And remember, it is not just Madrid that has a peaceful oasis, in the City of Lancaster the Cathedral is open every day between 8.30 and 6.00pm and on the 2nd Monday of the month there is the Drop in time for prayer at St Thomas More.

Please let us know if you have photos of where you've taken St Peter's Keys by using the form or leaving your photos or details of how to contact you with one of the clergy.
