On March 9th we shall sing Compline to the traditional plainchant melodies. David Ogden composed a simple setting last year based on words of St Anselm which is appropriate for Mothering Sunday. The text is:
As a mother cradles her child, so you enfold us, gently in your arms. As a mother comforts their pain, you calm and quieten our souls with your love.
As a mother teaches her child, so, Lord, you guide us, leading us through life. As a mother listens and cares, O Lord, you hear us and answer our prayers.
As a mother cries for her child, so you are weeping over our sins. As a mother feeds us from our birth, you daily nourish us with the bread of life.
Jesus as a mother, you gather us all to you. In your compassion bring forgiveness and grace. In you tenderness restore and remake us, In your love, bring us joy, give us peace.

The sadness of Holy Week gives way to the rejoicing of Easter. Fittingly this is THE season to sing Alleluia “Praise the Lord!”

Director of Music Priest-in-Charge

Singers are invited to join the choir in the devotion “The Crucifixion” by John Stainer on Good Friday at 8 p.m. The choir will rehearse at 6 p.m. The organist will be Barry Eaton. If you can, please come to the choir practices from 8 p.m. on Friday nights.

A prayer of St Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

O Lord my God,
teach my heart this day where and how to see You,
where and how to find You.
Let me seek You in my desire,
let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by loving You,
let me love You when I find you.
Amen.
