In February both at Nether Springs and in our online contexts, we are using two sets of readings each day.
The scripture readings for Morning Prayer will support our reflections on ‘Three Monks and a Donkey’ which are taken from the Colman series in ‘Celtic Daily Prayer’, book 2. The reflections describe the inspirational journey of sacred hope made by Aldwin, Reinfrid and Elfwy and the donkey from Evesham to Northumbria in 1074. The scripture readings will also be shown on our website.
Our Evening Prayer will use the readings ‘Wisdom of the Desert Mothers’ which are taken from the Eata readings in ‘Celtic Daily Prayer’, book 2. These reflections offer us helpful, sometimes challenging words from these early spiritual guides.
Even though we will be using these readings, please do explore the other sets of readings in our prayer books, which you might find more pertinent to you during the month.
