First meal out of the year on the gallery.

Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of a new day. May all that I do today be done with love and for your glory. #MorningPrayer

"Piglet told himself that never in all his life, and he was goodness knows HOW old — three, was it, or four? — never had he seen so much rain." ~ A.A. Milne

Come to visit us Lord, this night, so that by your strength we may rise at daybreak to rejoice in the resurrection of #Christ, your Son, who lives & reigns for ever & ever. Amen. The Lord grant us a quiet night & a perfect end. Amen. #Compline #NightPrayer #Prayer #JesusChrist

#MorningPrayer Teach our hearts, Lord, to give worth to that which is worthy, rather than to value that which is ultimately vain, that which feeds the ego yet starves the soul. Help us prioritise your love, and invest in each other, in mutuality, in community, in building peace.

Lord #Jesus, we pray for Francis, your servant, and all who are sick, comfort them and renew their strength, deliver them from all pain and distress; be with them in their suffering. ~ Lord, in your mercy, hear our #prayer. #PrayerForPopeFrancis #PrayerfortheSick #PopeFrancis

"God did not, on account of His foreknowledge of the evil that would result from man’s creation, leave man uncreated; for it was better to bring back sinners to original grace by the way of repentance and physical suffering than not to create man at all." Gregory of Nyssa

A rather spiffing letter from E. B. White (the author of 𝐂h𝐚r𝐥o𝐭t𝐞'𝐬 𝐖e𝐛) to a Mr. Nadeau, urging him — and us all — to keep the faith.

O Lord, grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. #Compline prayers for Pope Francis for a speedy and full recovery. 🙏

#MorningPrayer Lord, when our propensity is to build a world and a culture which idolises strength and greed, image and power, and when our priorities rely on overvaluing possessions and undervaluing persons, call us back to the truth of your kingdom, the priorities of your love.

Lord, the #angel brought you the Father’s comfort on the eve of your passion: we pray that your comfort may strengthen those who are dying. ~ Come, Lord #Jesus. #Vespers #EveningPrayer #PrayerfortheDying #Prayer #JesusChrist #Gethsemane Chapel, by Stephen Sykes, Coventry Cathedral

Let all exiles know your care for them; may they find their homelands once more, and come one day in joy to the Father’s house. ~ Come, Lord #Jesus. #Vespers #EveningPrayer #Prayer #PrayeroftheChurch #JesusChrist Icon of #Christ by Fr. Ilie Bobaianu

Julian of Norwich lived through a most turbulent era, rife with unrest and the Black Death, and more. But I take comfort in her refrain: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." It is a prayer, a hope, a longing.

It’s Friday, so let’s have some ‘Joie de Vivre’. Bred by Kordes and a former Rose of the Year. Have a good weekend everyone, take care. #roses 🌱

Muck spreading, usually means the farmer will be ploughing and planting soon.

#MorningPrayer Instil in us, Lord, the courage and faith to follow you into the places, situations, and contexts where you lead us, to live out our discipleship hopefully and joyfully, that your passion for justice, your abundant grace, your life-giving love, may be seen in us.

Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of a new day. May all that I do today be done with love and for your glory. #MorningPrayer
