REPLY: The card received from the Papal Nuncio


 

“The song which has been performing best is the Jesus song which I recorded in Holy Family chapel.
 
“I have written quite a few spiritual and love songs. I thought that the Jesus song would be of interest to the Pope and I wondered what he would think of it if I sent it to him and see if I got any feedback.
 
“When I received the response I felt a bit shocked and humbled. I was well pleased.”
