PALM SUNDAY – 5^TH APRIL 2020

Dear Friends,

My late grandmother had the habit of removing her false teeth and then grabbing us when we were children and shrieking, ‘come on, give us a cuddle’ this is one of the funniest and warmest memories I have of her. Who doesn’t love being cuddled, teeth or no teeth? Human touch is one the great gifts we have from God and the current situation is difficult and demanding as not only are we forbidden touch but even seeing our friends and family. Having said that physical touch is not the only ‘touch’ we experience as humans, all of us have been touched by a beautiful piece of music, poetry or art. So during this confinement let us concentrate on being touched in other ways, touched by God as we contemplate and consider the events of this Great Week, touched by silence which is also a gift, touched by memory and love of those who have died.

Embrace this enforced isolation if you can, think of the great eremites of the desert and pray that something  great and wonderful will emerge from this crisis. On Good Friday the world abandoned all hope, three days later the world rejoiced and was glad. Maybe this will be more than three days but there is new life around the corner of the virus.

Bless you all as you pray and think on these things, it is a wonderful opportunity to be still and know God.

Grant

 

A Prayer

Keep us, good Lord,

Under the shadow of your mercy

In this time of uncertainty and distress.

Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,

And lift up all that are brought low,

That we might rejoice in your comfort

Knowing that nothing can separate us from your love. Amen.

May you find blessing and peace at this difficult time.

Grant.
