Vicarage Notes

As I write this, we’re enjoying St. Luke’s little summer – a spell of fine days in mid October - hopefully with a few more still to come. Luke was the “beloved physician” mentioned by St. Paul who emphasized the compassion seen in our Lord’s ministry, the well known parable of the Good Samaritan being found only in his gospel.

November starts with All Saints and All Souls, and includes Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, so there is always a sense of looking back with the mixture of emotions that are part of who we are - a time for reflection before the new Christian year starts on Advent Sunday, the 28th. The collect for the end of Trinity is:

Stir up, we beseech thee, o Lord, the wills of thy faithful people, that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded.

Memorable words for the changing years!
