Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
A wondrous walk with a cold bracing wing was taken along Lytham St Annes this evening, followed by a meal with my family. I share some of the pictures I took today as I was seeking the sunset at Lytham St Annes.
Prayer of St Francis of Assisi who I have marvelled at since I was a child.
“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.”
Amen
