Praise be to God for the glories of His creation. The world is impressive in its variety. We recognise the beauty and majesty of the mountains, the white wonder of the Arctic regions, the emptiness of desert regions, the teeming life of the forests and the ever-changing nature of the seas. We celebrate the talents of so many of our fellow human beings who strive to achieve, often in the hope of supporting other people.

Above all we give thanks for the supreme gift of Jesus and the legacy he has left us. May the power of the Holy Spirit inspire our lives day by day.
