                               Based on the 

                               Saturday collect 

Almighty God, 

who rested 

after all 

your work 

of creation; 

Help us to

put aside our 

worries and 

distractions & 

rest peacefully in you.

courage 

confidence 

and faith 

in the Word 

made flesh”

          *William Temple’s feast day is actually November 6  and is the date of his baptism which is unusual, since the date usually picked is the day of the person’s death, his birth into eternal life. But this choice really fits because of his "profound belief in the Incarnation."
