We live in a world that needs a whole lot of love, love of others particularly those who are homeless, persecuted and exploit by the greedy and selfish.
St Paul tells us: “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in right. (1 Corinthians 13.4-6.). We pray that our world can be filled with a love that drives out hate and violence.

Prayer

We pray for those who live in poverty while government officials and politicians take large unjustifiable salaries. The poor suffer because of greed and selfishness, we pray that governments, and their employees will help those living on low incomes who cannot afford to pay their household bills.  We pray for a divided world where there is division between rich and poor, communities divided by race or religion, prejudice and hate. Lord this is not how you want it to be. Help those who are working for peace, those working to help the poor and people in need, be with them and support them through your holy spirit. Help those who govern to work to create a fairer and just world.  

​​Amen.

The Blogs page contains a number of blogs which have been written to help people going through challenging times. The blog are written from a Christian perspective using Bible readings to help illustrate the central subject area of the reflections. These reflections seek to help people relate their faith to the modern world.

​ Our attitudes to others.

What is our attitude to others? Are we envious, jealous, bitter or prejudice, or do we do good deeds with humility and wisdom, not being boastful.  The writer of the book of James observes. Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil. But the wisdom from above is pure; it is also peaceful, gentle, and friendly; it is full of compassion and produces a harvest of good deeds; it is free from prejudice and hypocrisy. Fights and quarrels come from desires for pleasure, greed and selfishness. We all need to set an example by reflecting the love of Christ for other people seeking to care for others and working for peace and make sure our attitudes are one that will be acceptable to God.
