You are the star in the firmament

Over the last few blogs you have seen some remarkable people, Father Laurence Freeman and Sister Jayanti are among the few who are both exemplars and teachers.  But there is an important message which both of them give and which all of us can take comfort from. They may be the angels and stars for us but they aren't asking us to become their clones and imitators.  The world needs a few saints, but it needs doctors and lawyers and bankers and cleaners and wives and husbands and sons and daughters, it needs dentists and engineers and scientists and adventurers, it needs you and me to be US but to be US remembering what those saints and angels and stars and exemplars are telling us.  We are all made up of that starry angelic stuff but knitted in different shapes and with different strands of talent and ability.  The one thing we share as long as we are well and in good health is to let that inner star shine brightly.  YOU ARE THAT so how about it!  Come and hear both Father Laurence and Sister Jayanti and Emily Johnston encouraging all of us to be our best starry self on November 26th at St Martin-in-the-Fields in the morning.
