From the Chaplain 

Rev. Dr Rosalie Clarke

Hello,

 

As we prepare for Easter we have the opportunity to say a collective sorry. Saying sorry - individually and collectively - reminds us that we are not the centre of the universe. It give us the opportunity to surrender to a Spirit much bigger than us.

 

Forgiving God

 

We are sorry for the ways we have affected our planet’s environment and the ecosystems of creatures big and small.

 

We are sorry for the wars we rage inflicting violence and trauma on one another.

 

We are sorry for our own personal conflicts and the bitterness and hurts we harbour.

 

We are sorry for all the ways we have been complicit in allowing this beautiful world to remain broken.

 

Help us to choose for good and give us the wisdom to recognise the way of Christ.

 

Blessings to all,

Rosalie
