‘In the first centuries the Church had a beautiful custom of praying seven great prayers calling afresh on Christ to come, calling him by the mysterious titles he has in Isaiah, calling to him; O Wisdom! O Root! O Key! O Light! come to us!
In the course of this retreat we will reflect on these seven wonderful prayers, approaching each one through the medium of a sonnet written in response to it.
The Revd Dr Malcolm Guite (Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge) – is a poet-priest and author of various books on contemporary spirituality. He often travels around Great Britain and North America to give lectures, concerts and poetry readings.
