When someone we love is suffering, we'll do anything to try and help them and the grief we feel at seeing someone else hurt is deep.

This Sunday, Jesus tells his disciples that he will undergo great suffering in Jerusalem - that he is destined to be killed. Peter couldn't bear the thought and told Jesus that he would never let that happen.

But Jesus knew that to fulfil all that he was on the earth to do, suffering was necessary. Peter didn't understand, but Jesus knew that his death would conquer death for all time and his victory over death would give the whole world hope for evermore.

- The Very Revd Abi Thompson, Dean of Sheffield Cathedral

Take a moment to slow down today, and listen to a moment of reflection 💜

In June, Dean Abi featured on BBC Radio 2’s Pause for Thought – a spot dedicated to faith-led reflections and moral perspectives from various world religions.

In her segment, she shares an anecdote about her brother and how it links to her faith and the story of St Peter.

This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Gospel reading is the Magnificat, a beautiful and powerful song that she proclaims to her cousin when she is pregnant with our Lord Jesus.

As this young woman faced a mixture of uncertainty, difficulty and excitement, we hear in her song a deep sense of faith, understanding of God's mission in the world and her place in it. The song offers a reminder to us of what it means to find purpose in the plans of God that he enacts through us in his world, and we will consider on Sunday what that might mean for us, and for the 'lowly' like Mary.
