St Paul concludes his second letter to the Corinthians today with the lovely greeting we often use at the beginning of the Eucharist.:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God [Father] and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
In what better way could we celebrate today's feast by acknowledging and receiving this greeting here and now and allowing that grace, love and fellowship to flow through us to others?
For a few moments repeat the greeting silently and allow it's meaning to deepen within you.
And for those of us who sign ourselves with the simplicity of the Sign of the Cross, may we say this simple prayer with ever greater meaning and awareness. It is a way for us to get in touch with the God 'who loved the world so much that he gave us his only Son' and fills us with his Spirit.

If God is the song and we are the singers
we are filled with the fullness of God
If God is the song and we are the singers
when we sing we are one with God
I will be your song
you will sing for me
With your heart in love
And your spirit free
If God is the song and we are the singers
we are filled with the fullness of God
If God is the song and we are the singers
when we sing we are one with God
For my song is life
And my song is true
It's for all to sing
It's my gift to you
If God is the song and we are the singers
we are filled with the fullness of God
If God is the song and we are the singers
when we sing we are one with God
For I have formed you
I have chosen you
Within your mother's womb I called your name
I will be with you
Always with you
Take courage and listen for my voice
If God is the song and we are the singers
we are filled with the fullness of God
If God is the song and we are the singers
when we sing we are one with God
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you this coming week and always.
