  • no lightening bolts…

    I was jumped upon to lead a little prayer time and impromptu Eucharist last night,  fortunately I had my phoneand therefore access to this meditation which I used as a prayer of blessing with a few on the spot changes to include the wine.  No lightening bolts as yet – so I’m guessing I’m safe!!

  • Blessed Bread

    I had been thinking about bread and its blessing during the Eucharist, came across a rubric from a Roman Mass which said (after the Hebrew Prayer, Blessed are you Lord God of all creation etc) “Now the Priest takes the Bread, which is now Christ’s Body”  Interesting, so the Hebrew prayer is enough words, that…

  • Cynicism Rewarded

    It’s not often that I get free Fairtrade Chocolate (Divine no less)… … and even less so for what I considered a cynical remark – The Church Times Ed. decided it was ‘Worldly Wise’ to suggest that Obama might be ‘Crucified’ as it were a few weeks after his ‘triumphal entry’. For those without the…

  • Falling in…

    I was sent a link to this place by a good friend, (who always comes up with inspiring and wonderful places actually) I’m not sure there are words to describe this place for me, it resonated with me on so many levels there was not room left to breathe.   I had found that experience…

  • Autumn Gathering

    We decided it was time to gather a few things from the autumn storehouse today, bag loads of haws which will (hopefully) turn into HawSin sauce (no jokes about getting our Haws out from between the Hips) We picked those as well, supposed to be a great soup flavour-er.  The HawSin taster that I made…

  • The Bread man Cometh

    I wonder what your bread habits are?? I have been writing about bread for a few days, but have come a little unstuck.  I like my bread home-made, with as few ingredients as possible, so whilst reflecting on a bread delivery man, I thought I had better gather some other ‘bread habits’ if you don’t…

  • Relations

    I am becoming increasingly concerned, as we near the climax of the consumerist year, about relationships between all sorts of things.  Reading the latest Resurgence reminded me of our relationship to food which can be as much about how we deal with others as it is with fueling our bodies.  This is intrinsically linked to…

  • Greenbelt thoughts

    I’ve been watching ‘Big Night’ this evening, a small yet great film from 1996 where two Italian brothers risk everything to save their business on one night of food. I was led to this film whilst looking at material for a confirmation course, the themes relating to Eucharist are replete and muti-dimensional throughout it, however…
