Description

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

This week we mark the feast day of St Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist, with our reading and in Alison's reflection.

In church, it is also Inspire! Sunday, when we celebrate and give thanks for St Bride's Church and our community of fellowship. St Bride's Orchestra will be accompanying the choir in a liturgical performance of of Dvořák’s Mass in D.

Dvořák was a devout man and he suggested the mass be subtitled “Faith, Hope and Love.” This reflection opens with our recording of the Kyries from the piece.

We close with the rousing hymn "For all the saints", text by the priest William How, who was known for his work among the destitute in the London slums and among the factory workers in West Yorkshire.
