Cantique de Jean Racine - translation

Word equal to the Very High one, our sole hope

Eternal of both the Earth and the Heavens

Of this peaceful night, we break the silence

Divine Saviour, cast your gaze down on us!

Spread on us the fire of your mighty grace

So all of Hell flees upon hearing your voice

Dissipate the sleep of a yearning soul

Which leads us to forget your laws!

Oh Christ, be favourable to this faithful people

Now gathered to bless you

Welcome the hymns they offer to your immortal glory

And may they come back fullfilled!

The service begins on p.119 of the Green Prayer Book

THANK YOU

to Jacqui Smith and to John Stewart who have led the parish in my absence. I have been visiting my family in London, spending time with my three grandsons, and also catching up with some friends. I managed to hear +Rowan Williams give a lecture on the future of faith and to meet fellow travellers Simon and Philippa Dickie for coffee in Islington. I also found two great clothing buys in an op shop!

Bookings for St George’s Big O

LIVING WELL CENTRE: The next spirituality seminar will be Thursday 20th October. Our guest is Father Robert Whalley, a person

of many gifts and someone well acquainted with Thomas Merton. He will be looking at how Merton was one of the people of the 20th century who embodied grace and redemption in a world where the

news was so often bleak and without hope. Rob says of what he will share with us: "Off the top of my head I’d be inclined to talk about Merton’s disillusion with monastic life - and religious life

generally - in later life: “How do you live out a full-blooded spirituality in such a bloodless church?" I will speak about the

failings of the institution and the unknown future, but pointing to where Merton offers some hard

won hope in the end about living in a heartless world." Everyone is very welcome to share the day with us. We gather from

10am for a 10.30 start and conclude at 3pm.
