During the Reformation (so called), itinerant priests used to visit the larger houses to celebrate Mass covertly.
Draping laundry on the hedgerow became a signal for other Recusants, that Holy Mass was to be celebrated at that house, that day.
More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
