Myrna and archbishop George Riachi arrive from Damascus (Syria) and are welcomed at Heathrow airport by Peter Hutley, Denise Vallancey, father Dr. Shafik Abouzayd, melkite catholic, a teacher at the University of Oxford (The Oriental Institute), father Augustin Aoun from the Maronite Monk Order as well as by his assistant.  Once arrived at Wintershall, Ann Hutley welcomes us. Later on, we visit the estate, the Holly Barn and the itinerary of the Stations of the Cross. A beautiful Estate. Very friendly people.
 

Stations of the Cross. In the morning mist, we walk through the picturesque lanes of the Wintershall estate, which are, at times flat and at time steep and narrow, along the various Stations of the Cross, in a beautiful surrounding.  A tree several hundred years old with enormous intertwined roots shelters the tomb of Christ. Father Alexander Sherbroke, from St-Patrick’s parish in Soho, meditates the Stations of the Cross, in an atmosphere of deep fervour.  Around 40 persons accompany us throughout this lovely itinerary.  On our way back, everyone is invited to have breakfast at Wintershall.
 

Mass for Unity celebrated at the Holly Barn, an old barn able to contain 600 people and since then, converted into a chapel. Approximately 300 people are present. Mass is concelebrated by archbishop Riachi and father John Pearson, Michael O’Malley, Michael Benjamin, Michael Grinnell, in the presence of the Anglican rector of Bramley, reverend John Bundock, reverend Rodney Annis from Enfield and Melkite deacon Richard Downer.  Father John Pearson is a former Anglican converted to Catholicism. His sermon is very moving. He refers several times to his past experience.  During mass, an orchestra (mostly youth) accompanies Myrna while she sings "Al Adra bil Soufanieh".
 

Very impressive testimony from Myrna. More than 150 persons come to salute her at the end of the mass. Not one mentions the oil or the fact that no oil had oozed from her hands. Everyone had concentrated on the testimony.  At the end of the mass, father John Pearson comes to salute Myrna. He tells her that he had read an article on Soufanieh years earlier and at the end of the reading, he thought to himself "Indeed this phenomenon is real, it comes from God".  Peter Hutley decides not to have any money collection, so as to respect the gratuitousness of Soufanieh.
 

We attend mass at Downside Benedictine Abbey. 14 monks concelebrate it.  There we meet Brigitte Waddams who is at the origin of this whole visit, as well as her husband who is the British ambassador to Kazakhstan.  Breakfast meeting at Denise with the Benedictine monk Michael Clothier.
 

Mass at Our Lady of Grace, in Prestwich, Manchester. Before the mass, recitation of the Rosary, meditated by Tony Hickey, inspired by the messages of Soufanieh.  Archbishop Riachi, fathers John Delaney (Franciscan capuchin) and the Irish priest father Martin Hough concelebrate the mass. Very touching homily in which father Hough compares the previous situation of the Irish Catholics to the one of the Christians in the East. He refers often to Myrna.  Tony plays the mandolin.  Testimony of Myrna. Beforehand, archbishop Riachi introduces the Soufanieh phenomenon to the audience. The church is full. Approximately 250 persons present. 
 

Morning mass celebrated by archbishop Riachi in the chapel of Katherine House. Tony Hickey and Sister Teresa White are also present. Archbishop Riachi blesses the picture of Our Lady of Soufanieh, which had been offered to Tony by Myrna. The latter also gives him some cotton soaked with oil from the icon of Soufanieh.  We bid farewell to Tony Hickey and Sister Teresa. Return to London by train. There father Shafiq Abouzayd welcomes us.  Lunch with Charles Riachi.
