Saturday 18 October 2025 - Give joyful thanks

Saturday 18 October 2025

Welcome to the Saturday Examen. If you were to re-capture some of this week’s reflections, you might want to imagine a wide angled lens sweeping over the whole picture of salvation and then homing in on tiny details of our human condition. Jesus, meeting crowds of people, even thousands, and homing in on individuals- even sparrows, and the hairs on our head! Breathe deeply. Let the shape of the story of redemption take you in, over time, over the generations. You are part of a whole. Give joyful thanks. Home in on a simple detail that might be bringing you down. Bring it to God. Ask for a greater awareness of the whole picture of redemption as well as the tiny detail. Step out into the day in God’s amazing grace... Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen
