One of the more interesting and dramatic pilgrimages I have gone on (year 2000) was to the famed Canterbury Cathedral in England. While I was there I went hunting for a man of the cloth to give me a blessing; just as so many others had done for centuries.
I was fortunate to have come upon Canon Ronald Diss* who, after hearing my story, asked me to follow him to the chapel for a benediction. I was more than surprised and honored to be taken to the actual Shrine of Thomas Becket and an adjacent private small chapel, wherein the most beautifully spoken prayer and supplication was bestowed upon me by my gracious guide. The Chapel was unlocked and I was ushered in small mystical space. I am not sure how many people actually receive a blessing in there but I do sense it was an extraordinary situation. It was a high point in my personal spiritual quest.
