The greenness means that the young cattle now graze in the fields. The sheep have been sheared, with many lambs now almost the same size as their mothers. Hay and silage are being cut and stored. The Coast Road and A55 get busier as each week leads towards the weekends. Summer holiday time is with us, with flocks of tourists and visitors coming to share in our beautiful part of the world.
Holidays, however short or long, are the times of memory making, rest, enjoyment. Stepping away from the daily grind to do something different. There are not really any references in the bible to holidays as such, however there are mentions of Jesus getting away from others, to reconnect, and recharge.
Of course, God gave the Sabbath to us, a day to rest, to relax, and not work. Whether or not you literally follow the creation story in Genesis or consider it an allegory, I’m sure that you all like having days off. I know that I do!
As the tourist season starts for some, for others it is their busiest time of the year, as their work is to be there for the visitors. St Bridget’s is now open on most Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Between 10am and 4pm. Open for prayer, open for reflection, open for God, open for you.
Jesus said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (Mark 6:31).
God Bless you all, and I hope that you have a lovely summer, and a good rest.
Fr Adrian, Curate, St Bridget and St Cwyfan’s
