Today is Saint George’s Day, the patron saint of England, and we pray for all English people. It is also the day on which William Shakespeare was born in 1564. He died on his birthday in 1616. In his play, Richard II, (the second) Shakespeare has one of his characters say: “I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul remembering my good friends.” (Richard II,Act 2, Scene 3) Each of us can think for a moment of a few individuals who have improved the quality of our lives, whom we remember as good friends. (pause…) In Shakespeare’s play, King Henry VI, (the sixth) the king says: “O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.” (‘King Henry the Sixth’, Part 2, Act 1,Scene 1) Let’s take these ideas and pray: Lord, as you lend me life, lend me a heart full of thankfulness, that I may treasure good friends and be appreciative of all who are part of my life. Inspire me each day to live positively and cheerfully, living in such a way that I express thanks and encouragement to others, so that, together, we may bring out the best in each other. Amen.
