New London at Its Best

This weekend Our Lord will be welcoming His people to celebrate the pleasures of the season in His finest city. I've been walking the grounds, inspecting the preparations, and it's clear that Burdett-Coutts has outdone all previous efforts.

The site is quiet now, but tomorrow the Embankment will fill with Our Lord's faithful subjects, celebrating the new year's promise with parades and games and and choirs of children--all sorts of festive exercises, all demonstrating our nation's pride. All good citizens will come to show Our Lord their gratitude for His good gifts of freedom and prosperity.

I look to see you all there.
