Today's Gospel reading      John 16: 5-11 [Jesus said...]   But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?” But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate  will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about  sin and righteousness and judgement: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgement, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.   Sacred Space Y ou can find a helpful prayer guide here: https://sacredspace.com/daily-prayer/2026-05-12 Christian Aid Week This week is Christian Aid Week.  You can w...
