Dear All, Another big feast for us this weekend, that of Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body & Blood of Christ. The Gospel chosen for Sunday’s Eucharist (Lk 9. 11-17) is an account of the miracle of that five loaves of bread & the two fish being more than enough to feed the five…
Dear All, At this stage of the year we roll from one big feast to another & this weekend we have the feast of the Trinity. In fact this feast is very much a continuation of Pentecost & there is so great a wealth of reflections on the Spirit that we are going to continue…
Dear All, Jubilee Weekend & Pentecost!! We hope you are enjoying some kind of celebration. Let us pray with urgency, ‘Send forth your spirit, O Lord, & renew the face of the earth’. We can all, I’m sure, think of situations – ones that are close to home & ones that are further away that…
Dear All, We are coming to the end of Eastertide – we can look back to Easter & wonder whether it has made a difference in our lives. I don’t think it is often a big bang moment for many of us but I like the expression ‘Eastering’ – it implies that this is a…
Dear friends, Next week, on Thursday, we will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. It marks another extraordinary moment in the Risen Life of Jesus. We have chosen to send you some reflections on this event as well as some excerpts from the New Testament that record it. We have highlighted a few phrases in…
Dear All, This coming week on Tuesday there is a Day of Prayer for all those who have survived sexual abuse so let us pray for them & particularly for those who suffered abuse by people in our churches. The attachments this week once again remind us we are still in Eastertide but also relate…
Dear All, I suppose having so many weeks of Eastertide reminds us that Easter Sunday & the Resurrection are foundational to our faith. By comparison, Lent is long but only six weeks, & Advent, just four. And Eastertide seven! This week two of the reflections are there to remind us of that great event that…
Dear All, Another week of Eastertide & this week I seem to be coming across several pieces that come under the heading of DANCE!! They seem to be very appropriate for post-Easter & for Spring becoming ever more dominant. So we hope you enjoy them. May the Lord bless you, May the Lord protect…
Dear All, We hope you have had a good Easter Week: how lucky we are that Easter comes in this season of greenness, growth, colours, new life. Do you know ‘Spring, a Season for Rising’ by Nikos Kazantzakis – ‘I said to the almond tree: Speak to me of God; And the almond tree blossomed.’…
Dear All, In anticipation, a very happy Easter to you all. I hope our efforts to live Lent fully will mean we find immense joy over the weekend. The darkness of the Ukraine situation has intensified these weeks for us all. We must pray that Ukrainians – wherever they now are – will experience something…
