I rarely preach from the psalms, but the hope, longing, and faith in Psalm 126 were so grounding for me this week. I also had in my mind a note about the joys I have found with St Paul’s in the midst of this long hard year. Because amid all of the frustrations and complications there have been moment of joy to help carry me through hard weeks.

I worked most closely with Psalm 126. (Anglicans use a particular translation of the psalms in our worship, so you can find that option here. )
