An early start to share in services at St Mary's
This ancient prayer of St Aiden sums up the retreat and perhaps the whole Sabbatical experience:
Leave me alone with God
as much as may be.
As the waters
close in upon the shore
make me an island, set apart,
alone with you, God, holy to you.
Then with the turning of the tide
prepare me to carry your presence
to the busy world beyond,
the world that rushes in on me
till the waters come again
and fold me back to you.
