A time of unhurried silence
in which to dwell at the heart of the Eucharist.
Sunday April 27th
8 a.m.
St. Mary's Church, Sullington, West Sussex, RH20 4AE
On this first Sunday following Easter the Gospel reading focuses on Jesus appearing to the disciples and on their seeing, not seeing and being seen
- themes which arise in John of the Cross ...
When you looked at me
your eyes imprinted your grace in me
for this you loved me ardently;
and thus, my eyes deserved to adore
what they beheld in you
John of the Cross - The Spiritual Canticle
We gather in silence, coming just as we are, to seek the face of God and to wait upon the Divine presence. In and through our attentiveness, gazing and listening, the silence deepens, so we also depart quietly, taking what we have received into the day. There are no announcements; the spoken words are offered as stepping stones in the quiet, taking us deeper into silence.
All is Eucharist.
