Here's your chair at my fireside, and I hope that during 2026 you will drop in here often to share thoughts and observations.
2025 has been quite a year, and I have the feeling that 2026 will not be a startling improvement. The tide has turned, I think, but we must wait a while yet for it to come in.
Even so, if the year ahead does not look full of hope, then at least our task is clear; we must bring to 2026 the hope that is in us, the certain hope that we have in Christ Jesus.
We have come through difficult times before, and we shall come through these present days in the same way. This too shall pass.
May the Lord of creation who blessed all he had made, and pronounced it good, lift up the light of his countenance on the trees and waters, on the stones and the air, on the clouds and the birds, the animals, insects, invertebrates and fish, on every living thing and upon humanity. "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well."
Thus says the Lord:“Stand by the roads, and look,and ask for the ancient paths,where the good way is; and walk in it,and find rest for your souls.” [Jeremiah 6.16 RSV]
This Christmastide may you find peace and meaning in the coming of the Christchild. At this time of Yul, rejoicing in the infant Light with all the hope it carries, may your soul be renewed, your purpose be steadied, and faith strengthen within you.
Make ready your soul to take hold of the Light, and anchor it firmly in the place where you are, and bear it steadfastly through the year to come.
Pax et bonum.
Blessed be, my friends. x x
