ONa recent missionary journey, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people who visit our Devotion Page.
Anemail sent to our Mission Corner read thus:
"Hello ACW, each month I look forward to your Devotion Page for the spiritual guidance that you give and the
Old English hymns that are placed on your site. Thank you for caring about those you do not know. I wish soon
that it would be weekly and if that is not possible provide new hymns with the words as you always do, I find
myself singing along with the choirs."
May God bless you and all the ACW

In life's journey you never know whom you will meet and with half or more of the world's population visiting the
Internet weekly, whose lives you will touch. We are glad that what we try to do enhances the lives of others.
This month's Devotion pays tribute to the music of Westminster Choir England , but let us involve and adhere
ourselves in the prayer of St Francis of Assisi:
LET US PRAY
Lord, Make us instruments of your peace, Where there is hatred, let your love increase
Where there is hatred, we will show his love where there is injury, we will never judge
Where there is striving, we will speak his peace,
To the millions crying for release, We will be his instruments of peace
Where there is blindness, we will pray for sight, darkness we will shine his light
Where there is sadness, we will bear their grief to the millions crying for relief,
We will be your instruments of peace. AMEN
Be Thou My Vision
Upon this prayer we follow with the words attributed to Dallan Forgaill, 8th Century translated from Ancient
Irish to English by Mary Byrne in 1905,
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
As you go this month touch the life of someone who may be in need.
