I met my spiritual director for the last time today. He is dying of cancer and knows he has not much time left. He has not spent the time mopping around, he has been seeing friends, giving gifts etc.
His love and grace are wonderful. He has given me a book of thoughts and prayers from a friend of his and some wonderful stoles!
he had them made for him by some Nuns he was working with. They are curtain offcuts from the 70's and they are really funky.
Somehow he knew with my dress sense I would appreciate them. He has planned his funeral down to the hymns and the sandwiches.
I hope i live with half the grace with which you are dying
thank you for helping on the journey so far and may God's love enfold you on your final journey

About Me
- Jeremy
- I feel I am a spiritual tourist trying to become a piligrim. Outside of that I work part time in central london; I have a family with two grown up children, and am a mad spurs fan.On 29th June I was ordained a deacon in the Church of England to serve my 'title' in the East Greenwich Team Ministry.This takes in the three parishes of St Georges, Christ Church and Holy Trinity. Or for non anglicans, Westcombe Park, East Greenwich and the Pennisula including the O2 arena.
