Lent is a time of inward looking at our True Beliefs, and when the World seems a totally alien place.

The World has Politicians who promise, never deliver and tell lies as to why they let the people all down. Too many think they are irreplaceable. Bureaucrats ensure that medical programs do not work to the benefit of the patients! While City governments like all other rulers worship money rather than use it for the people who voted them in!

This challenges me to see the value of Prayer each Sunday for these dreadful hypocrites.

Yet every day as I struggle into McGill, I enjoy and am amazed by the kindness and help I receive as I tackle stairs and doors. A sudden hand helps me, and as I say “thank you”, I see a smiling face and receive a kind word. People individually are still courteous and helpful. As I arrive at the Office, I am smiling myself and humming a cheerful tune.

This is why St. John’s each Sunday is a Joy. The Service - and Coffee - refill us for the week ahead!

The Bible really tells us this: every time God works through the Collective, He is let down. When He works through Individuals, He achieves Miracles. The Greatest being Jesus.

Joyous Easter to all, and Happiness in the Christian Year ahead.
