A prayer from St Margaret’s Church
Our new Railway is somewhat of a miracle to happen to our community and Destination Levenmouth. Taking a moment to appreciate this, the Churches of Levenmouth have come together and created this blessing. Regardless of your beliefs, there's something that can be taken from these words
Connection
We all need connection
with one another, as human beings
with the wider world around us
with the earth which sustains us
within our own selves, to know ourselves better,
and with the Being that created us
and loves us
and seeks for us to do better
One of the most important means of connection across our land
was cut.
But today that connection is restored.
We seek God’s blessing upon those who worked so hard to ensure this happened,
upon those who put their hard work and sweat into building it,
upon those who keep it going
upon those who travel out for work, or leisure
to visit family and friends
upon their connection to the land;
And upon those who will come into our community
for work, or leisure
to visit family and friends,
we wish them joy.
And we remember those who gave their lives in the past
in their work upon the old railway.
They are never forgotten
By their family and friends.
May we never forget them.
And may we seek God’s protection upon those now working the rails,
that no lives are lost, harmed, or wounded.
We seek God’s blessing upon the land over which we travel
the farmers who till the soil and grow our food
the Fisherfolk who know the sea
the RNLI, who ensure their safety.
And we seek God’s blessing upon the wildlife we can see from the train,
the deer, the pheasants, the rabbits and hares, the birds of the air
and the seals in the sea.
May all be blessed.
May this connection bring hope to a community left behind,
behind no more
but leading in hope
in warm welcome
with music in the heart
and a joyful twinkle in the eye.
May God bless this day
and all the days to come
May we continue to build connection
between ourselves and the world around us
and may that connection be sweet.
Amen
