WALK WITH ME - EASTERTIDE 2008

This current series of Walk With Me podcasts for Easter 2008, is introduced by the Most Rev. Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Birmingham and features music from Boyce & Stanley of CJM Music, as well as other Catholic artistes. This series also features students and staff from Cardinal Griffin Catholic High School in Cannock, Staffordshire, sharing readings from Scripture.

This series follows themes laid out in the recent encyclical Spe Salvi, in which Pope Benedict XVI explores the Christian virtue of hope.

Each episode consists of:
A Scripture reading from the week ahead
A reflection on the theme of "Hope" from Archbishop Vincent
A time of reflection with instrumental music (Piano reflections from Every Secret Longing)
A song based on a key theme from the week's scripture
A concluding prayer & Blessing

Lord God, our light and our salvation,
we praise you for your gifts of life and faith.
we thank you for the desire
that you have planted in our hearts,
our yearning to see your face.

Help us to meet you in prayer,
to walk in your ways,
and to speak to others of our
joy and consolation in your presence.

Give us faithfulness in this present life
so that we may come to know
and praise your beauty,
with all our brothers and sisters,
in the life to come.

We make this prayer through
Christ our Lord.
Amen
