Sola gratia

Return to previous page

Artefacts, objects and images provide a wonderful opportunity to relay and share the Good News with others.

Pause for a few moments and consider the image.

What do you see? What message from the Gospel would you share?  What scripture comes to mind?


Pause for a few moments longer and look again.

What story could you tell? What message would you share?  What scripture comes to mind?


Look again..

What message do you see emerging?  What scripture comes to mind?


Rest in the moment.

A framed image of the icon containing Jesus on the cross, fishing nets with cross design and writing around the edge taken from Revelation 22:13

Lord, I pray you give me the courage to share your Good News everyday.

To carry your gift of grace throughout my journey of life.

Let my words and deeds be a gentle balm of kindness and friendship.

The stories I share faithful to you.. full of promise and hope.

That others may hear your word through me and come to know you this day.


In your son's precious name I pray.

Amen

  • The wavy lines - the Holy Spirit.
  • The use of 3’s - the Trinity.
  • 12 fruits on the shrub... but one looks rotten. Judas?
