For the next two weeks I will be teaching a course to Chaplains new to Australian Defence Force Chaplaincy, and given that focussing on what to have for breakfast whilst also watching the morning news is generally too complex a task for me, what chance have I of remembering to write reflections for the coming fortnight!

My cunning plan then is to select a verse or couple of verses from the readings of the day, or from one of the prayers of the Mass of the Day, and pair them with a song / hymn. I hope you find it useful.

The Entrance Antiphon for Masses this week:

I am the salvation of the people, says the Lord.

Should they cry to me in any distress,

I will hear them, and I will be their Lord for ever.

Good and Gracious King (City Alight)
