Church Words
Watching the news at the moment is quite an assault on our senses. We may range from com- passion and tears to anger and rage at what we see happening in our world and in particular our country. There is Good news, but equally there is Bad news, sadly so often too much bad news. It is important that we know what is going on, that we follow advice, yet in this day and age we are bombarded with information from so many sources. It can be a little overwhelming, but what I do not want to do with my short thought is overwhelm you nor cause you more stress rather I want to BLESS YOU. It’s a phrase we often use to infer upon someone we love, maybe if you see a baby the words ‘bless’ might flow from your lips, or you hear of someone doing something unselfish or achieve a goal, you want to say, ‘Bless’. But what do we mean and how can it help us at this moment? A blessing does indeed have its root in religion and as a Christian there is a specific reason for passing on a blessing, we want you to know God by your side in all you do and whatever you may face. A blessing is often seen as a prayer given to an individual or group that they might prosper, not just in a material may, but in ways that benefit their whole being and others around them. I am privileged to be in a position to be asked from time to time to pray with someone, when I do I always finish with a word of blessing, for me there is an added extra to the words ‘Bless You’. I want to identify where the blessing comes from, for me that is God. So it is ‘God Bless You’, letting the persons know the source of that blessing. When Jesus walked the earth people sought him out to bless them, with healing and wholeness so that their situation and lot in life might improve. We may not be one who has material or financial needs at the moment, although I know there are those for whom the situa- tion has caused great distress in these areas, yet all of us need hope and blessing at this time. Just like the hope and blessing of that Vaccine Jab might bring to us to enable us to live a life of freedom once again, my prayer of Blessing for us all is one that will bring us a life of freedom both now and always as Jesus promised. During a previous pandemic when Europe was en- gulfed by the plague of AD 590 the Church through Pope Gregory 1 ordered unceasing Prayer for divine intercession. Part of his command was that anyone sneezing should be blessed im- mediately, with the words, ‘God Bless You’, hence even to this day we hear people say ‘Bless you’ when someone sneezes. Maybe at this point in time lets not wait for a sneeze to bless one another, lets use it as a prayer for the well being of each other whether ill or not, whether a key worker or not, whoever we are we all need to know God’s blessing. As I finish there are two blessings below for us to ponder. The Biblical blessing; Numbers 6:24-26 24 May the Lord bless you and take care of you; 25 May the Lord be kind and gracious to you; 26 May the Lord look on you with favour and give you peace.
And a modern popular blessing; May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Rev Canon David Sherwin
