A prayer<\/h3>\n

High King of Heaven,
\nYou stretch out the skies like a curtain
\nAnd lower the canopy of gentle night
\nTo cool the heat of the day.
\nMay your peace, dark, velvety and starlit,
\nDescend
\nTo calm the wild beating of my heart,
\nThat I may be still.<\/p>\n

 
\n~ by Pat Robson<\/strong>, from A Celtic Liturgy<\/a><\/em>, p. 1-2

Podcast tip<\/strong>
\nIf you like listening to podcasts, here’s one with a Christmas theme, entitled God is not nowhere in the world<\/em><\/a>, featuring Jason Micheli, posted on the Mockingbird website. <\/p>\n

The other talks<\/a> from this year’s Mockingbird Tyler Conference are good too (see uploads dated 11.4.2022).<\/p>\n\n

Another tip<\/strong>
\nSing “Be thou my vision” reflectively, paying attention to the references to heart and “High King of Heaven”.<\/p>\n

And enjoy this acoustic version of Jon and Valerie Guerra’s Christmas themed song, “Lord, remind me”.<\/p>\n
