SPEAKING TO THE SOUL

Friday 2nd September

A QUOTE, A TEXT AND A PRAYER…OR TWO

A QUOTE

Reason is an action of the mind; knowledge is a possession of the mind; but faith is an attitude of the person. It means you are prepared to stake yourself on something being so. Michael Ramsey, the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury

A TEXT

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will up hold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

AND A PRAYER…OR TWO

Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, 
for all the benefits which thou hast won for us, 
for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for us. 
O most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother, 
may I know thee more clearly, 
love thee more dearly 
and follow thee more nearly 
day by day. Attributed to St Richard of Chichester (1253)
