There is no plant in the ground but tells of your beauty, O Christ. There is no creature on the earth. There is no life in the sea, but proclaims your goodness. There is no bird on the wing. There is no star in the sky. There is nothing beneath the sun, but is full of your blessing. Lighten my understanding of your presence all around, O Christ. Kindle my will to be caring for Creation.
Reflection – Today’s Thought
Friday 19th August
Lord, Let our memory provide no shelter for grievance against another. Lord, Let our heart provide no harbour for hatred of another. Lord, Let our tongue be no accomplice in the judgement of a brother.

Thank you for our legs, As we pilgrimage through life. Thank you for our hands, As we wield bread and knife. Thank you for our bodies, As we see our children grow. Thank you for our faces, In them the Christ we know. Thank you for our eyes, As we wonder at creation. Thank you for our hearts, As we accept your salvation. Amen.

Spirit of God. The breath of creation is yours. Spirit of God. The Groans of the world are yours. Spirit of God. The wonder of communion is yours. Spirit of God. The fire of love is yours. And we are filled. And we are filled.

May God make safe to you each step, May God make open to you each pass, May God make clear to you each road, And may he take you in the clasp of his own two hands.
