The minister used three basic
ideas to describe the experience of
all who are involved in war.
1. Hope - Hope is often restricted,
confined, personal. It often comes at
a particular moment. In the Autumn
of 1940 after the siren sounded, a
family’s hope was “Don’t let the
bombs fall on our house. ’ ’ There
were innumberable experiences ex
pressed in various terms as “He
boughtit;’’ “He didn’t make it; ’ ’
“They’re in London” and etc. The
personal hope of survival predomi
nated.
2. Inheritance- What inheritance?
- freedom of assembly, learning,
politics, art, music. Culture must be
preserved. All helped mould us and
were worth defending. The inheri
tance was very important. It is vital
to us.
3. Resources - Nearly always in
war, numbers count - the number of
men, planes, guns, food supplies; all
resources are caught up in war.
These three basic ideas came from
Ephesians when St. Paul prayed that
God might give men wisdom and
knowledge to know the hope of His
calling, the glory of His inheritance
and His resources.
May we understand the hope into
which we are called. Our inheritance
is one which is to lift us up, not one of
escape; to inherit peace and joy.
Our Lord went co the cross that we
might recognize freedom and open
our hearts to others. Resources may
raise us to Eternal Life by restoring,
renewing, healing and creating out
of chaos; through belief in God.
