This wonderful friend and follower of Christ was keenly aware of the power of the sound of her name; you remember when Jesus called her by name and she had that sudden miraculous acquaintance with him in the garden. These times, we have forgotten how to serve our name – which is our identity in the world – with reverence and respect. Our fore-parents in Scripture were keenly aware of the magic, the welcoming freedom which valuing our name completely facilitates. Through story, song and prayer, we will be fully present to ourselves, each other and the Divine through The Peter’s Pence collection the grace of names and naming. ‘The glory of God is every person fully today is a very ancient alive.’ (St Irenaeus).
