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 Alison reflects on the insights that a child's perspective and approach to life can bring us.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Olivier Messiaen's 'O sacrum convivium'. Music for Messiaen was a way of expressing his Christian faith but surprisingly this short anthem is his only liturgical motet.

A new episode of this online act of worship is released every Sunday morning at 11am.
