A new Compline for Shrove Tuesday is now available for use in your preparations for Lent.
Loving father, keep us close to you through the temptations and troubles of our mortal life so that we neither sink into indifference nor into despair. Help us to learn both from our joy and from our penitence and see them as two necessary aspects of our faithfulness to you. We make these prayers to you through our beloved saviour and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus dreamed
He heard a choir
And felt the ardour
Of the Holy Spirit's Grace;
And then He saw the golden children,
Feted pilgrims
In His Father's warm embrace.
Lulla, lulla, lulla-lulla.
Taken from Post Epiphany Carols (i. Dreams).

The star sparked snow enholographed,
Nature's guile brought to celebrate
A child en-haloed in the straw
In decorously poor estate.
Yet I would take enphotographed
For stars and snow clogged clouds and clay,
A man enthorned in purple scorn
In torturedly rich array.
As snow is cold cheer enepitpahed
Stars map space into time's demands;
But God enfleshed in suffering
Unwinds a shroud with wounded hands.
