The letter from the Archbishops on 26th January asks us to pause and to pray every day, especially now when we have passed that milestone of 100,000 deaths from COVID19. We cast our fears on God and place our hope in Christ, who knew grief and suffering himself. At our Candlemas service on Zoom, we blessed candles and will encourage everyone to light these at 6pm to come together in prayer. Hazel encourages us to adopt this practice, knowing that many people across the nation are doing the same thing at the same time. A pause and prayer for as long as you can manage (could be just 1 minute) is all that's asked for.
