Twenty years ago Liz Dawn was a member of the Cathedral Sunday congregation, and a regular on the readers’ rota. She came with the choir more than once when we went into Strangeways Prison to sing in the chapel. It was our privilege to sing at her invitation on ‘her’ episode of Granada TV’s My Favourite Hymns. (We sang Gerard Markland’s Do not be afraid and Carey Landry’s The love I have for you.) For her funeral, Fr Brendan Curley, Cathedral Adminstrator (Dean) in those days, came back to lead the celebration. The tributes to Liz, from family and colleagues, seemed utterly genuine, and spoke of her quiet faith and steadfast commitment to Christian charity.

At the ceremony marking its inauguration, a representative from each parish was presented with an image of the San Damiano Cross. According to Franciscan tradition, it was while praying before this image of the crucified Christ (painted in the Byzantine style and dating from c. 1100) that St Francis is said to have heard our Lord’s injunction: Francis, rebuild my Church. During the rite we sang the Taizé refrain Confitemini Domino (‘Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good’), interspersed with verses from Ps 117(118), but concluding with Anerio’s powerful encapsulation of the triumph of the cross. We sang it joyfully, especially the energetic section in triple time on the words but God raised him up, and gave him the name…
