Sheltering Hope
"Abrigar Esperanza" is a spanish expression, meaning sheltering hope. In Anglican congregations across Canada, the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund is a vital part of the parish peace and justice ministry and a public witness to the community's central message of Christian hope for a better world.
The following short reflection, based on a prayer from Jan Richardson's "In Wisdom's Path: Discovering the Sacred in Every Season" weaves in a few examples of where PWRDF finds hope at the beginning of 2008.
That peace will rise like bread we can always hope.
That justice will flow like wine we can always hope.
That the table will make strangers kin we can always hope.
That our hope will rise like bread we can always pray.
That we can become part of the answer to our prayers, we humbly pray.
