Dear friends,
In this series we will have a short settling down introduction followed by a prayer.
I hope that whatever your own beliefs you will find some benefit in hearing these well known words which have been a support to others over many years.
But first let us come into the present and find that elusive space where body and mind come together.
Relax for a few moments,
Maybe close your eyes,
Drop your shoulders,
Notice your breath and realise that you are part of this supportive community.
This is a prayer of Cardinal Newman,
John Henry Newman.
May he support us all the day long till the shades lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last.
Words of Cardinal Newman,
John Henry Newman.
Namaste.
