Stillness & Turning

This first Sunday of Lent, 22nd February, at 8a.m. we will be gathering again at 
St. Mary's Church, Sullington, RH20 4AE
for 
A Service of Silence & Beholding
an unhurried time of silence and stillness, in which to dwell at the heart of the Eucharist

In this Lenten season the invitation is one of 'metanoia' - of turning -     
to seek the face of God in the Beloved.
To be still before God in silence is to turn.
The more we practice stillness, the more the turning happens,
and in the turning stillness,
all else but the Oneness of Love falls away. 

Turn 
‘Metanoia’ 
Turn around 
Seek the face of the Holy 
Attend 
Give yourself to this one thing 
Again and again

'Have one intention,
to remember the One.
Practice turning from the many to the One.
Practice seeing the many in the One and the One in the many.
Live in union with the One which unifies through the One.'
Priest-Monk Silouan
Wisdom Songs - adapted

Peace be with you
