Using silence in prayer.Sometime in the 14th Century an anonymous monk wrote a book about prayer which he called “The Cloud of Unknowing”. In a modern translation (easily obtained) it’s an easy read. But it’s also a revolution in praying. Out of his life shaped by the many words of the seven daily prayer services (“offices”) and Holy Communion, he was able to see that silence was the only way to be closer to God. Language was laid aside as it is quite inadequate to describe God or to express the relationship between us and God. He said: “By love may he be gotten and holden; but by thought, never.”The silence I want to encourage you into practicing is an act of love towards God. It’s called a practice for a good reason - you have to practise it! The monk said. “Smite upon the thick cloud of unknowing with the sharp dart of longing love.”Look at the sky the wrong way down binoculars and you’ll see lots of blue and lots of clouds. Look the right way down and you’ll see the cloud close up - shapeless, formless, indefinable.Blessed and Holy Trinity, give us the love to press hard on your mystery and to know, without thoughts and words, the passion of your embrace. Amen.*Part of a series about re-thinking silence from the diocesan Spirituality group, see the prayer diary to find out more - www.cofe-worcester.org.uk/prayer-diary ... See MoreSee Less

Today on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we pause Today on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we pause to reflect on the sacrifices so many made, the atrocities of war, the suffering of so many in the Far East and the scars that were left on both sides. We pray for World Peace, in the continued hope that an amicable solution can be reached to put an end to today’s current conflicts. Let today be a reminder of the human cost of warfare and the devastation it leaves behind. At 11.50 am today, Pershore & District Branch of the Royal British Legion will lay a wreath at our town War Memorial here in the Abbey before we observe the National 2 minute silence at 12 noon. Please join us in also offering the @thechurchofengland prayer for this occasion 🙏🏻🌏 🕊️ #vjday80 #lestweforget #royalbritishlegion #prayforpeace
