Signs that spoke to us tonight

Tonight as we prayed we watched a bus go by, with an advert proclaiming “Be different.” We prayed that those in the Church have the courage to be different from each other, and that the institutional Church gives us the freedom and liturgy to delight in that difference.

There are two sets of prominent doors into the Cathedral - one is always closed, but has clear arrows pointing to the open doors. Often people fail to interpret the signs, and stand puzzled by the closed doors until we speak to them.  We prayed that the people of the Church help each other to respond to the signs of our times.

As we sang Ubi Caritas lovers walked by.  We prayed that the Church be seen as a sacrament of love
