Round this time last year I was reflecting on there being Too Much News. And today, with a budget, more virus and vaccine figures and a chocka email inbox, I was wondering what I should do about Everything.
And I was reminded of the lovely book I gave the Vicar for Christmas – Every Moment Holy.
It has a Liturgy for Those Flooded By Too Much Information.
I commend it to you.
But you, O Jesus, are not disquieted
by such news…
Give us discernment
to know when to pray,
when to speak out,
when to act,
and when to simply
shut off our screens
and our devices,
and to sit quietly
in your presence,
casting the burdens of this world
upon the strong shoulders
of the one who
alone
is able to bear them up.
Amen
What do you pray when you are overwhelmed?

Hi. This is lovely! Can I forward it to my church women’s group?
Of course!
Beautiful
