Dear Friends,
‘Happy New Year’ to you, and ‘Happy Epiphany’! In the short days of Christmas then lengthening through January, we wonder at the light in the darkness that became the light to all nations. At this time of year, in a somewhat similar way, I also find myself full of wonder at flowers in the cold and wet of winter – aconites, snowdrops, hellebores – heralds of the abundance of summer.
As you look forward to Lent and Easter, spring and summer, I wonder what is growing in you spiritually. If we can help, we’d love to welcome you to the Abbey. If you want something organised then our 2024 retreat programme – both residential and day retreats - is now up on the website including retreats for Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost. Do check back regularly as others are added. Or design your own DIY retreat – come when you like, for as long as you can, and rest in our daily rhythm of prayer.
And if you love Launde Abbey and want to stay connected outside of your visits, then you might like to know about the new Launde Abbey Companions.
With love,
Alison and the Launde Abbey community.
