Reminded of the words from Psalm 96 on this spring bank holiday - such beauty to be thankful for.
"Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
Let all creation rejoice before the Lord."
Delighted Blackwell's recommend my book, Prayer for the Day. On sale now with all profits going to the University Church, St Mary's. Enjoy the spring bank holiday!
Am loving reading Stephen Cherry's new book THY WILL BE DONE. It's challenging and inspiring. How best can we pray the the Lord's Prayer especially during the pandemic? A great guide for Lent.
@roselyddon Dear Rose,
I loved my masters - though it was really tough studying
women's beekeeping in Nepal. I promised I would never to another degree..now two degrees later ..my doctorate is on climate change. Very tough again - it's a deep blessing too.
Water to wine was the earliest of Jesus' miracles, where people first started noticing there was something a bit different about him.

Watch or rewatch the documentary 13th by filmmaker Ava DuVernay. It explores the history of racial inequality in the US. Produced in 2016 its brilliant, moving and highly relevant today in light of the horrific and tragic death of George Floyd.
Along with honouring and remembering VE Day - here is a way to remember Julian of Norwich and her words of comfort - 'All Will Be WELL'.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall softly upon your fields until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Old Gaelic Blessing

All font line workers in the NHS and also those in shops and producing food should be clapped for tomorrow night. Will will never forget those putting their lives on the line to save ours.
Light in our darkness, hope in our fear, strength in our weakness, the Risen Lord, who has triumphed over death, brings us new life to dispel our despair. Glory to all this Easter.
