Today I led a Quiet Day at the Retreat House in Pleshey for the Parish of St Andrew's Sandon. Entitled 'Daily Divine,' this Quiet Day explores experiencing God in the events and emotions of the everyday or, as the poet George Herbert put it, ‘Heaven in ordinaire’. During the day thoughts are shared on the idea and reality of having an ongoing conversation with God in which we pray through our emotions and our everyday encounters.
Over the course of the day we used an eclectic range of materials from: David Adam, Brother Lawrence, Ruth Burgess, Alexander Carmichael, Jean Pierre de Caussade, Bill Fay, George Herbert, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Jonathan Sacks, Ray Simpson, Simon Small and Victoria Williams.
