(I personally have never experienced nor led dismissal - no particular reasons.) In the group sharing of the experience of the scrutiny, words were hard to find to express the presence of God deep within, a peaceful presence. A couple were visibly, deeply moved. The journey was beginning to 'make sense', 'feel right'. The 'thirst' for the sacraments to be celebrated became more apparent, a thirst welling up to great anticipation, joy as well as nervousness and apprehension. We eagerly await for the experience of the second scrutiny! Here in Hayes we celebrated this wonderful first scrutiny followed by dismissal which hasn’t been done for a long time.
