A Light for My Path
Quiet Spaces: A light for my path Edited by Heather Fenton
In this issue we remember that the word of God is a light for our path. Carol Jerman takes up this theme in her contribution 'A lamp to my feet'. Jean Watson writes about the light Paul encountered on the road to Damascus, and Alison MacTier from the Retreat Association helps us to think about being 'Companions along the Way'. Janet Fletcher reminds us of the 'light that will sustain us, open up prayer from deep within us'.
Bread for the Journey
Quiet Spaces: Bread for the Journey Edited by Heather Fenton
Quiet Spaces: Bread for the Journey looks at the many different ways the themes of bread and life are painted in the Bible. The spiritual aspects of bread for the journey are explored in liturgy, prayers and reflection.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow Edited by Heather Fenton
Tomorrow remains in some senses a mystery but we can prepare for it. 'Seeking one's place of resurrection' is Andrew's contribution, while Jim offers us a meditation on letting go. Marion knows that living in today but being aware of tomorrow is not always easy, and David helps us to look at what is perhaps the greatest image of new creation.
Today
Today Edited by Heather Fenton
The theme for our new edition of Quiet Spaces is Today. Learning to live now, in our own today, is important. For each of us this will mean different contexts, challenges and opportunities. Tim Blewett will help us think about learning to live in the context of our own day, drawing inspiration from his own life and circumstances.
Yesterday
Yesterday Edited by Heather Fenton
Yesterday looks at the many different aspects of the past - spiritual, collective and individual. Using the examples of the creation and the eucharist as well as personal memories and stories, Yesterday points us to seeing what God has done already, and how we can respond to his actions.
