The God of all Comfort – Mother’s Day 2025

As we think about the different roles of mothers, our vicar, Abi Todd, considers the way mothers provide practical support like nourishment and shelter but go much further providing comfort and compassion. This passage in 2 Corinthians talks about how ‘the God of all comfort’ acts as a mother to all His children, and how through His comfort for us we can have compassion on others and comfort them through the power of His Holy Spirit.

The reading is 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
