God does not look upon the world from afar, unconcerned with our lives, our troubles or our expectations! He comes among us with the wisdom of His Word made flesh, drawing us into His wondrous plan of love for all humanity.
Preferring nothing to Christ, let us pray for Order of St Benedict in independent Abbeys and Priories throughout the world
Benedictine Community of the Holy Cross in the UK
Congregation of the Companions of St Benedict in Cameroon
"People are not turning away from spirituality, but seeking ways to explore and nurture it; and yet, in their efforts to attract people, some churches look to the marketplace — sleek branding, artisan coffee — rather than what is under their noses"

It was so good to be in Bethlehem this morning, talking and praying with Palestinian Christians in the place of Christ’s birth. I give thanks for their faith, courage and steadfastness, and pray for justice and peace in the Holy Land. @AnglicanWorld
"None of my clergy colleagues have enquired as to how I am doing. No one from the bishop’s staff on which I sit have said a word."
For absolute shame.

Grant us, Lord, to join today
with the innumerable host
who surround you with
their prayers and praises,
sustained by your life and love.
Keep us from all that
diverts our faithfulness
and draws us away from you.
Inspire us to shine
the light of your love,
for all.
A Prayer for the Holy Land 🙏
This prayer was written by the Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, for today's ecumenical Day of Prayer for Peace.

“I keep going because I know who has called me.”
As the first Black female Bishop in the @ChurchofEngland, The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin reflects on what it means to surrender to God’s will and remain faithful to the call, in this special bonus video for today’s theme.
From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!
I join the widespread condemnation of this horrific attack on the Al Ahli Anglican Hospital in Gaza which has led indirectly to the death of a child and demolished buildings including the Emergency Department - a tragic beginning to Holy Week compounding the suffering of so many.
thinking about sufjan stevens and how he reconnected with his mother only for her to die shortly after, lost his father, lost his partner and get’s really sick all in one year, like give this man a break already let him be happy
