Chaplain's Message

A Scottish Blessing

Chaplain, Mrs Sarah Pollitt
Chaplain, Mrs Sarah Pollitt

If there is righteousness in the heart, 

there will be beauty in the character.

If there is beauty in the character, 

there will be harmony in the home.

If there is harmony in the home, 

there will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

there will be peace in the world.

 

So let it be!

 

I used this Scottish Blessing at the Founder's Assembly on Wednesday – it reminds me of the verse from Matthew

“First take the log out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck from another’s eye” 

In other words it  all begins with me – if I get ‘myself’ right, the ripple effect is unhindered! 

 

Create in me a clean heart O God!
