Easter Reflection
This week the church of God remembers with thanksgiving that in His love for us, Jesus Christ took to himself the pain and loss of our world, experiencing both the joy and desolation of the human experience. As we hold before God the brokenness of our world, and this week particularly the tragedy that has unfolded in Brussels; let us pray for peace and the renewal of our hope in God’s gracious gift of life for all.
Almighty God, as we stand at the foot of the cross of your Son, help us to see and know your love for us, so that in humility, love and thanksgiving, we may place at his feet all that we have and all that we are; we ask this through our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

St David’s Day Festivities
On St David’s Day we will be celebrating the festival with a Solemn Sung Eucharist at 5.15pm. As we give thanks for the saints who continue to inspire us on our journey in faith, we pray, with Dewi Sant, for the people of Wales and for God’s blessing on the institutions that serve us.
We shall also invest, commission and welcome new members of the Cathedral Guild of Stewards during the liturgy.
March 1st will also see the launch of the Cathedral’s new website. There will be an informal reception after the service where we hope you will take the opportunity to view the website. The Dean extends his thanks to George Pearce and his team at IAMP Ltd for their invaluable help and support.
