Using mantra for prayer - First practiceThe first mantra is the well-known Orthodox prayer, “The Jesus Prayer”. Often accompanied using a ‘prayer-rope’ (a small, knotted rope, with each knot held in turn as the prayer is repeated). However, you can use a rosary or even your fingers - just touch each one in turn. Or don’t use any physical support, saying the mantra until you naturally stop.“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner”.Repeat the line holding the knot, bead, touching a finger, or just pause at the end. Then allow a gentle inhale and say it again, moving onto the next knot, bead, finger etc).Focus intently on the words, each one as you say them (it’s best to whisper the words to begin with). Don’t rush this – you’ll not encounter intimacy if you do.You may end up praying just one of the words, ‘Lord’ or ‘Jesus’ or even ‘of God’. That’s perfect, the word that sticks is a doorway for you. Another outcome might be you forget the words entirely, at least any meaning, and let the rhythm and sound move you.“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner” ... See MoreSee Less

Has anyone else got over-excited little bears in t Has anyone else got over-excited little bears in their household? The tree is up, the gifts are wrapped, wreaths are made, every day is a chocolate advent day and the smell of mince pies are drifting from the oven. In #pershoreabi's book, that equals Christmas but we are trying to explain to her that we are still in Advent and that patience is required. Like most little bears, patience is not always a skill-set that has been mastered so we are letting her have a sneak preview of the new @thechurchofengland #twelvejoysofchristmas book You can order your copy from Church House Publishing or follow online by downloading the Church of England Everyday Faith app onto your device. It will begin on Christmas Day and is a lovely way to spend a short time each day to remember the true spirit of Christmas 🕊️ 👑 ♰ Look out for Abi's wreath on our Victorian lamppost too as she made it herself to spread some festive cheer 🧸🎄 #christmas2025

Have you been into Pershore to see our beautiful C Have you been into Pershore to see our beautiful Christmas lights yet? This year the town is looking so pretty with the new lights twinkling across the High Street. If you like coloured lights then do walk through the Town Hall and see the tree in their garden. You will see our Abbey bathed in Christmas gold light too and the decorations beautifulky strung around St Andrew's Garden 💡⭐💡⭐💡⭐ Christmas is a difficult period for many but we hope that light shining through the darkness can bring some comfort. 🫶🏻 You are most welcome to come and sit quietly in the Abbey or light a candle in memory of a loved one. We also have a Book of Remembrance for those who sponsor the Abbey floodlights on a special day. It costs £18 for 3 years and the book sits next to the candle burning daily in our South Transept. Full details are available in our leaflets in the Abbey or you can contact the Benefice Office for details. 🕊️
