So when Our Blessed Lord has come to us in our Communion, we do not leave him behind; we bring him with us into the world outside, and there we are to live and act as being in his company, and to do as he would have us do – to make the world around us a sweeter and better place.

It was Abraham Lincoln who said, “…I want it said of me by those who know me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower would grow”. (1)  If our worship here in church has been sincere, that will also be true of us.
