25th January

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
whom should I dread?

Opening Prayer

Keep your family safe, O Lord, with unfailing care,
that, relying solely on the hope of heavenly grace,
they may be defended always by your protection.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

God, for ever and ever.

When the driver arrived, he parked, got out, and we exchanged greetings.
