Irish jockey Rachael Blackmore had so many smiling yesterday with her fabulous win on the horse ‘Honeysuckle’. As Rachael’s mum put it so well, in a world where there is a lot of pain and suffering with the war in Ukraine, it was nice to have something to smile about yesterday.

Thought on Wednesday – March – 16/03/2022
As we head towards St Patrick’s Day the following St. Patrick’s Prayer is most appropraite
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
We pray for God’s strength to help us,
God’s wisdom to guide us,
God’s eye to be our vision,
God’s ear for our hearing,
God’s word for our speech,
God’s hand to protect us,
God’s pathway before us,
God’s shield for our shelter,
Amen
