Ruach Breath Of Life

Lord, You have much for us to hear and do but our hearts must be very still and quiet to listen, like Mary, who chose the better part. Draw our souls to silence, that we may sit at Your feet and gain strength and direction. The Music: Largo from Vivaldi’s Concerto for piccolo and strings When I was a student, I watched a moving French film called L’Enfant Sauvage, about the real-life story of a boy who spent the first ten years of his life living on his own in a forest. The music touched me deeply and I prayed to find out what it was. One day, walking through the streets of Oxford, I heard someone playing the piece through an open window in St John’s College. I dashed up the staircase and discovered what it was. It has been a firm favourite ever since! Musicians: Nicola Gerard (flute), Shirley Richards, Teresa Brasier, Nick Evans-Pugh and Jo Garcia (strings) Lord, You have much for us to hear and do but our hearts must be very still and quiet to listen – like Mary, who chose the better part.
