Hard Yards

Last night was again a small gathering. Linda was at Youth Benediction, the Smiths exhausted and Matt on world wide travels - which you can access at his blog outofmybrain.blogspot.com
It felt less than exciting last night, despite the fact that we learnt to sing the Magnificat for the first time, but I suppose this is a good sign - a sign that we were joining as a community of prayer in the midst of our busyness, illness and even apathy at times. Our shared silence is a gift at this time, allowing us to rest in the love and company of each other and of God.

Last nights reading was from Abhisihiktananda, a beautiful part of which was:
Prayer is to see God in any person, or in any creature, with whom we come in contact ...
Prayer is the smile, the look of the eyes which conveys to the other the greetings of the heart, which tells the other, known or unknown that they are not a stranger, but recognised as a brother or sister"

Peace to all
