SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
The ‘Slow Work of God’
The Good News is that the spirit dwells within each one of us and we are all pilgrims on a journey to God. The spirit is continually at work in our lives and every experience is an opportunity for growth and for a deepening of life within us. However, the problem can be that sometimes we don’t recognise that ‘God comes to us disguised as our life’ (Richard Rohr) and we can’t believe that our experience could be the place of divine encounter, having meaning. Often, too, we face enormously challenging situations of illness, suffering and loss, that seem initially too awful and distressing to have any other significance. Finding God in the messy bits and pieces of our lives is enormously challenging. Many prefer to escape in sanitised, blissful and ‘holy’ experiences far removed from the daily hubris that surrounds us. The challenge remains to believe that God is with us and while not causing life’s chaos and unpredictability, works powerfully to shape and mould us through these experiences.

We Remember At This Time…
In September, we celebrate the Season of Creation. A time for us to remember our relationship with all of God’s creation. May we ponder the beauty and mystery of everything around us and find our way to make the world a better place for all God’s creations. “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.” – Psalm 143:10 NRSVue
