O Sapientia

After a little break, here’s the next Advent picture – this time based on the first of the ‘O’ antiphons:

OSapientia

O Sapientia, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti,
attingens a fine usque ad finem,
fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia:
veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.
O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other,
mightily and sweetly ordering all things:
Come and teach us the way of prudence.

A bit late, but here is my picture for Exodus 3.14-15: “I am that I am” – what God said to Moses from the burning bush.

Making the most of your child’s baptism

baptismbook.jpgI’m delighted to say that the second edition of my booklet, Making the Most of your Child’s Baptism – a gift for all the family, will be published by SPCK on 21st January 2016.

The new edition is in a slightly larger format, with a slightly larger typeface – it’s an easy read for families, with lots of lovely pictures (the design work by SPCK’s Sarah Smith is beautiful, by the way). As in the first edition, there are excerpts from the liturgy, explanations and explorations of the words and actions, things to think about and practical ideas to try at home to help the whole family grow in faith.

This second edition is also fully revised to include the new ‘accessible language’ liturgical material published a few months ago, as well as still containing all the Common Worship ‘default’ settings.

You will be able to buy copies direct from SPCK, or from Eden, Amazon etc. Enjoy!
