This week students of the college are on retreat, and we’re joined by a former student, Fr Benji Tyler, as retreat conductor. The theme is “the heart of a priest.” Prayers for a blessed, restful, and quiet week appreciated!

Over the weekend some of our ordinands went bouldering (shout out to Freeklime Huddersfield, who weren’t expecting a bunch of trainee priests plus one trainee deacon, but made them very welcome). Fun had by all!

It’s Rogationtide, the traditional season for asking God’s blessing on growing crops and those who work the land. Just before lunch, some of us joined the Community for their Rogation procession, blessing the orchard, the allotments, and the workshop.

Holy Saturday

A black and white print that represents the body of Jesus lying in a tomb after the first Good Friday. The image has the body with one arm hanging down from the plinth on which the body has been placed. Most of the image is made of linen cloths pulled in different directions over the corpus. The image is one in the sequence of stations of the Cross created alongside poetry of music for Newcastle cathedrals jagged edges project. The project uses work from survivors and victims of church based abuse to reflect on the traditional stages of Christ betrayal, arrest, trial, torture, and death - https://www.newcastle.anglican.org/jagged-edges/

A prayer for the installation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Almighty God,
you call your Church in every age
to proclaim the gospel of Christ:
look with mercy upon your servant Sarah,
and grant that, as deacon,
she may care for those in need,
as priest, sustain us with the ministry
of word and sacrament,
and as bishop, guard the faith
and build up the body of Christ in holiness.
Give her wisdom and kindness
that as archbishop, she may promote unity,
seek truth, and lead us in the way
of righteousness and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
