Thought for the week:​​

​

The silence is deafening…

On this Remembrance Sunday there is always a silence, the two minutes of silence

after the sounding of the last post, a piece played at military funerals to honour the

dead and we remain in silence. What do we hear in that silence, can we indeed hear

anything because the silence is deafening? Perhaps we hear and feel the steady

rhythm of our heartbeat. The heart that should be truly thankful for the sacrifice and

service of others, a heart full of love and compassion, a heart determined to live and

strive for peace. In our two minutes of silence, let us all hear the heartbeat of God,

beating with love and sorrow for all humanity. SD
