Look back on us and bless us, Ireland’s son,
And plant the staff of prayer in all we do:
A gospel seed that flowers in belief,
A greening glory, coming into leaf.

Very pleased to share a new poem by @malcolmguite online at Hearth & Field today, "Lockdown Villanelle."

(This was originally published in our most recent print edition.)
English
Six years a slave, and then you slipped the yoke,
Till Christ recalled you, through your captors cries!
Patrick, you had the courage to turn back,
With open love to your old enemies,

@MerylW10 I am sorry to hear you are suffering this way and hope it doesn’t last too long

@malcolmguite Sometimes you speak of depression but it's rare for survivors to open up. The pain I feel today is unspeakable and the misery of psychosis means every little comment is personal. It's torture and I reject your God while needing mine. My God does not force me into a hole.

Now into Christ our mother church we bring them,
Who shares with them the birth-pangs of His Kingdom.

The single mothers forced onto the edge
Whose work the world has overlooked, neglected,
Invisible to wealth and privilege,
But in whose lives the kingdom is reflected.

A thanks to those who stayed and did the raising,
Who buckled down and did the work of two,
Whom governments have mocked instead of praising,
Who hid their heart-break and still struggled through,
Mothering Sunday: a sonnet malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/mot…
English
At last, in spite of all, a recognition,
For those who loved and laboured for so long,
Who brought us, through that labour, to fruition
To flourish in the place where we belong.

@MerylW10 @ChurchTimes Thanks. That’s a wonderful picture. Is that the Mathew in Bristol Harbour?

@ChurchTimes @malcolmguite Thank you for a wonderful, feel good article full of the joys of spring. You may say that social media is a very poor substitute for human interaction but it's good to know that you can enjoy fun on home turf in between your exciting travels. Here in Bath the sun is glorious.

"Clare’s account of the turn of the year in The Shepherd’s Calendar is as much about the life of ordinary labourers in the fields as it is about nature herself."
