Last week our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was on a hill walking holiday in Scotland, and taking a break along with this partner Ann, he visited Edinburgh for a spot of sightseeing.
Whilst visiting the delightful and very historic Parish Church of St Cuthbert, on Lothian Road, just at the end of the famous Princess Street Gardens, Garry was struck by all the various messages and prayers adorning the interior walls of this church on ‘post it notes’ and similar.
Two prayers particularly took his notice, both on the same paper and both anonymous, and are reproduced here;
FOR THE EMERGENCY SERVICES
Lord God
Be with those in the emergency services
When they are called out
Let the traffic part before them
Keep them safe from harm
Under the shadow of your protecting wings
May their hands be your hands
Of healing and comfort
So that they are able to help
All those to whom they are called
ON HEARING EMERGENCY SIRENS
Lord
Be with them
Wherever they are going
Keep them from harm
Be with them whoever
They are called to
May they be able to help them
