I can’t describe how sad I am about this assisted dying debate. Maybe because I sit with the dying in hospices and know what a good death can look like. I understand the feelings and views of the other side, I really do. But this legislation feels rushed and brutal to me.

Verse of the Day: ‘What is impossible with man is possible with God.’ (Luke 18:27)

This verse reminds us that no challenge is too great for God. When we feel overwhelmed, we can trust in His power to do what we cannot. What impossibility can you surrender to Him today? #Verseoftheday

Today, we remember St. Edmund the Martyr, King of East Anglia, who died in 869 defending his people and his faith. His courage in standing firm for Christ, even at the cost of his life, speaks to us today.
