Chaplain’s Weekly News 23rd December
Chaplain’s Prayer for the week
God of glory, lift up our gaze from our animals,
their husbandry and all the daily cares of our
farming life to see the tiny shining presence of
your new born Son. We pray that his light will fill
our lives with Comfort and Joy this Christmas.
Do not fear
Contributed by Deacon Alison McCauley, Melton Mowbray. (edited for this news)
This year seems to have sped by as we have been constantly
looking to the future, waiting and wondering when we can see
our family again, when we can travel, when we can hug our
loved ones, when we can be vaccinated against this dreadful
virus. It has been a year of fear and anxiety. Our farmers, not only
have dealt with all this but also had to process the ramifications
of Brexit and keep an eye on the constant
unpredictable weather.A reading in Advent
is taken from Luke’s Gospel ‘ –Do not fear ’the
Angel Gabriel said to Mary. Wonderful,
obedient Mary. Mary who was ‘deeply
troubled’, ‘confused and disturbed ’and
‘thoroughly shaken’.Those are words that
could apply to any of us at some time over
these last few months. The phrases ‘do not be
afraid’, ‘fear not ’and other similar phrases appear in the Bible
365 times. It’s good to think that God tells us not to be afraid,
once for every day of the year. These phrases are usually
followed by the assurance of God’s almighty power and
reassurance of his constant presence in our lives. Try this little
reminder: fill in the blank with your own worry, take it to God and
leave it there, knowing he hears you even when we can’t hear
him. ‘When I’m afraid of…, I will trust in you O Lord. ’Prayers don’t
need to be long. He hears them all. Amen.Fr Clive Sabbatical
