<\/a><\/p>\nChant<\/i>
\nLead me Lord,
\nLead me in your righteousness.
\nMake your way straight before my face.<\/p>\n
Reflection<\/i> Remembered bible<\/i> What, then, shall we say in response to all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?<\/p>\n Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or the sword?<\/p>\n No, in all these things we are always victorious through him who loved us. I remain completely convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n At the end of the day<\/i><\/p>\n We pray for those who long for the day to end, for something unjust to end, for something hurtful to end.

\nMossy places, fungi too,
\nSheep nibbling, lichens spreading,
\nAnd then the steps,
\nDark grey slabs mostly,
\nStretching up into the hillside.
\nOne or two are differently patterned;
\nAn orange banded one caught my eye.
\nThen the small bridges:
\nSome made of flat slabs,
\nOthers small humped stone structures.
\nWe ascended to just before the lip of the pass
\nAnd the returned, tired but wiser.<\/p>\n
\nThere are many references to the Roman Empire in the Bible. Think of some of your favourites.
\nHere are some of mine from chapter 8 of the letter to the Romans. I say it at every funeral service I lead. I like to think of those early Christians in Rome hearing it read to them for the first time. Amazing stuff!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nMay peace and hope be shared amongst us.<\/p>\n<\/a>Nunc dimitiss<\/i>
\nHoly God, now let your weary servant go in peace.
\nYour promise to see the hope and love you have prepared for us has been kept.
\nIt is wonderful indeed. Like a light: glorious in every way to those who embrace your kindom.
\n
\nGlory, Glory, Glory
\nCreator, Son and Spirit,
\nAmen, Amen, Amen. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nIt is not clear if the Roman Steps at the end of Cwm Bychan are really Roman, or just old. There’s a description here<\/i><\/p>\n
\nI particularly like the comparison to a Japanese landscape.
\nBob may write about the same walk here<\/i><\/p>\n
