Dear Friends, I hope the week has been a good one for you – if it hasn’t I hope you have found the strength you needed to meet the more difficult bits of it. Our attachments are a bit of a hotchpot today. The one I’d like to draw your attention to in particular is…
Dear Friends, The attachments today remain on the Easter theme. Susan Kambalu uses the natural growing cycle in what she writes rather effectively I think – it is the time of the year when we cannot be unaware of being surrounded by growth in nature. Gerry Hughes reminds us of the inextricable link between…
Dear Friends, We hope that Easter week has been a good time for you & that you have been able to ‘feast’ a bit rather than ‘fast’! (whatever those words ‘fasting’ & ‘feasting’ mean for you – not necessarily just food & drink!) We aim to share several Easter reflections with you over the next…
Dear Friends, Well, here we are: Holy Saturday. For those who know us well, you will be aware that Holy Saturday, often a forgotten day, for us as Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre, is a very special day. Yes, it is a day of waiting, a day of disappointment, a day where failure seems to…
Dear Friends, Hopefully you are still on board the Lenten journey. It can seem a long one if we are trying to take it seriously. But it isn’t too late. If we have made a sluggish start, or maybe, given up en route, these last days are time enough to get back into it. I…
Dear Friends, The end of Lent is just about in sight but it does become more & more intense as we get closer to Holy Week. When reading the relevant parts of the Gospels I can feel that growing intensity. One of the attachments takes us back to earlier in Lent as it focusses again…
Dear Friends, Known as Laetare (Rejoicing) Sunday, Mid-Lent Sunday, this Sunday is seen as a bit of a relaxed moment on our journey through Lent, fasting is put on hold & a bit of feasting is enjoyed. It is also Mothering Sunday & a couple of the attachments are loosely around that theme. Another, ‘Lead…
Dear Friends, Well, we are moving on through Lent apace – I hope you found something we sent last week helpful for your Lenten path. I hope some of you enjoyed ‘Catch me in your Scurrying’! This week there are a couple of reflections on Desert & Wilderness – both very much the context for…
Dear Friends, I wonder how we are all progressing through Lent and whether anything we sent you last week found resonance with you. This week we continue with a few lines from our Lenten Litany and a few other pieces we hope may be helpful. One is very long: ‘Catch me in my Scurrying’ but…
Dear Friends, Here we are starting Lent again. What are our initial thoughts/feelings with a move into Lent? Perhaps very little response – ‘we’ve done this so many times……’; maybe a feeling of challenge – will it be significant for me this year – can I make it significant? Am I fearful of challenge? Or…
