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.

The choir opens this reflection with a beautiful double-choir setting of the Gloria from the mass "Missa Bell' Amfitrit' altera" by the sixteenth century composer, Orlandus Lassus. Although Flemish by birth, Lassus choose to live and work in Bavaria, first as a singer and then as Kapellmeister at the Bavarian Court, becoming the most prominent musician there.

Our reading begins with a plea from the Apsotles to Jesus to "Increase our faith!" Alison reflects on this, how we respond to the gift of faith and those who help shape that response.

We close with the hymn "Teach me, my God and King", another beautiful text from the English priest and poet, George Herbert.
