Like those who found themselves in exile, we find it hard to sing the Lord s song in a barren and painful place. In the midst of our darkness, we sometimes miss completely Your Light. In our loneliness and isolation, we can miss completely Your nearness. Even as we give thanks for the gift of Your Son, we confess that we live as if this Good News was not meant for us. Cleanse us of all doubt and despair, and heal us by Your merciful Spirit. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen. SILENT CONFESSION

BOOKMARKS AUTHOR OF THE MONTH Stuart Gordon s Author of the Month is George Herbert. Herbert was a poet and a pastor in 17th century England and a man considered to be one of the greatest of English poets. His sacred poetry is beautiful in its own right, but also serves as rich devotional reading for Christians. It is no coincidence that a large portion of Scripture is poetic in form; to speak of the things of God requires every resource of language at our disposal. George Herbert is one of the great witnesses to God in the English language. The Complete English Poems of George Herbert is available in Bookmarks.
