Amongst the nettles and the thorns that grow along the rutted way, we build a little wayside altar every time we pause to pray ... On the common ground of life we break the Bread and take the Wine - when in search of peace and truth, we turn in thought to things divine.

 

Light a lamp upon the altar, marking well the holy place, where you found when sick and weary, rest and comfort, hope and grace ... so that others, following with aching heart and heavy load, may see the glory of your faith and find new strength to take the road.
