Christmas can be a wonderful time of year to meet with family and friends, to gather round and celebrate together, but it can also be a time when divisions and tensions for some can seem even more present. Having gone perhaps ignored or avoided the rest of the year round. As we travel to meet our loved ones this year, let us pray for the courage and strength to mend broken bridges, to forgive and to apologies. Let us find the time to make journeys of healing this Christmas.

This series of reflective prayers and poems were written by Albert Bogle and created by Jack Steel in 2018, they were intended to be moments of calm and reflection over what can be a hectic and busy Christmas period.
