Message from Bishop Robert, 19 March 2024
Tucked away in the midst of the grand drama of Holy Week, full of dramatic events – the triumphal entry, the last supper, arrest, trial and crucifixion – is one much quieter, deeply human moment, almost tucked away in the garden of Gethsemane.
Message from Bishop Robert, 14 March 2023
Thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength … (Isaiah 30:15)
I have found myself returning often to these words from the prophet Isaiah over the last few years as a reminder in busy, sometimes anxious, sometimes challenging times that it is in God we are to place our trust and from God our hope and our confidence for all that will be.
