Holy Cross Day On Holy Cross Day the Church celebrates the Cross as a symbol of triumph, as the sign of Christ’s victory over death. Holy Cross Day goes right back to 14 September 335, and we have the mother of a Roman Emperor to thank for it. Helena was a devout Christian, and after her son, Constantine, was converted, they agreed that she should travel from Rome to Israel, and seek out the places of special significance to Christians. Of course, much of Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Romans around 135 AD. But even so, Helena finally located what she believed to be the sites of the Crucifixion and of the Burial (and modern archaeologists think she may well be correct). The sites were so close together that she built one large church over them - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. That church, built in honour of the Cross, was dedicated on 14 September 335. The sign of the Cross has been used by Christians since early times. Tertullian, writing his De Corona (3:2) around AD 211, noted that Christians seldom did anything significant without making the sign of the cross. What is its significance? Well, people often put their initials or some sort of personal mark on something to show that it belongs to them. The Cross is the personal mark of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we mark it on ourselves as a sign that we belong to him. Even in the book of Revelation, we read that the servants of God are ‘sealed’ or ‘marked’ on their foreheads as a sign that they are his. A preacher once put it this way: if you were explaining to someone how to make a cross, you would say: “Draw an I.” That is you standing before the Lord, saying, ‘here I am’. Then cancel that vertical stroke with a horizontal stroke – as if to say: “Lord, I abandon my self-will and make you the centre of my life instead. I abandon myself to your love and service.” On Holy Cross Day, we recall Jesus’ wonderful promise: “And when I am lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32) Take Away our Hearts of Stone and Give us Hearts of Flesh · In his novel “1984”, George Orwell has the chilling sentence: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a stamping human face for ever. Well, we don’t have to look back far to understand Orwell’s pessimism. No need to recite all the horrors of World War II and its apocalyptic climax at Hiroshima and Nagasaki when, in a blinding moment, hundreds of thousands of civilians were obliterated. In light of the evidence of human wickedness and folly, only the most shallow among us could shrug off the threat of a nightmare world the future can hold for us. The present, already, brings new horrors. Members of Islamic State and related bodies hold human life worthless in the pursuit of a religious creed. Not a new phenomenon. We have only to remember the massacre of Moslems by Christian Crusaders – and many Moslems have never forgotten! So one can feel some sympathy with those who condemn religion as the cause of much evil in the world. But, in fairness, it has be admitted atheistic creeds such as Stalinism have perpetrated equal atrocities to achieve their ends. What can so easily be lost zealous adherents to religious and secular philosophies is humanity and virtue which raises human- beings to a higher spiritual plane - kindnessI’m not speaking of conventional, undemanding niceness, but that generous love of neighbour which comes of a deep sense of kindred, extending to those who are not of my tribe. In his picture of the Last Judgement, when men and women are held accountable for their lives, Jesus insists that it’s just that – kindness – caring for my neighbour – that is the sole criterion:’I was hungry and you fed me, naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me.’That is to say: Have I been fully human in my concem for those who need me? Success in this is all that ultimately matters. And, knowing how often we fall short, the more we try to walk with Jesus who is humble of heart and the friend of failures. Roger Collinson

A mother asked her son, as they waited for the bus, to tell Edith Cavell had resided and worked in Belgium for seven the driver he was four years old. That way he would ride years after training at the London Hospital in Whitechapel for free. So as they got into the bus, and the driver asked (now the ‘Royal London’) and working in several hospitals in Jimmy how old he was, the little boy replied solemnly: “I England.

She took a high view of her vocation as a nurse, paving this courtyard.” When they were out of earshot of seeing it as a calling that transcended racial and national the new students, the curious lady asked the guide to tell barriers.

My dear Nephew Darren

I’m sure your church’s team of management consultants meant well, but their visit here was not wholly helpful. It is all very well when they are co-ordinating office staff, secretaries, clergy teams and legions of volunteers, but here, there is me, Miss Margison and a golden retriever Our simpler pattern works perfectly well: if it happens in church, I do it; if it involves drawing up rotas, stoking the boiler, visiting the sick or clearing the car park of snow or the churchyard of leaves, Miss Margison does it. If something small and furry or flapping and feathery has strayed into the church, the golden retriever does it – by carrying it back outside. Inevitably, there are legions of people around the parish who are always “glad to lend a hand if needed.” Having said that, they then feel satisfied, and actually do nothing – but complain about those of us who do do things. Rotas are irrelevant, as whatever is written down never bears the slightest resemblance to reality anyway. As soon as someone finds that they are booked on a certain date to read a lesson, make coffee, or mow the churchyard, they immediately book a holiday for that week. If we are lucky, they may find a replacement - apart from one occasion. Major Hastings was unable to read the lessons on a certain day, so he booked another, then forgot and booked a second person. Cometh the day, they both went to the lectern and neither would give way, so we had the lessons read by two people. It would not have been too bad if they read at the same pace, but they got ever more out of phase as the reading progressed, one having returned to his pew while the other was still doggedly finishing the last few verses. I did, however, greatly appreciate your team’s advice on time efficiency. From now on, on Sunday mornings, the lessons will be read while the hymns are sung, the collection taken while the anthem is given and the sermon preached while the notices are delivered. In future, we should get through Mattins in twelve and a half minutes. Your loving uncle, Eustace Easy Sudoku Solution
