Rooted. Gathered. Blessed.

NeuroDivine has always been about recognising the sacred woven through our whole selves—our minds, our bodies, our ways of sensing and moving through the world. It’s a space where difference becomes a doorway, where the textures of neurodivergent experience are met with gentleness, dignity, and grace. This hymn grew from the ancient devotion of Tantum Continue reading

River. Forest. Abbey.

The River Bann has long been a place of refuge for me. As a Venture Scout, I learned its rhythms from the seat of a canoe—the quiet pull of the current, the soft slap of water against the hull, the sense that the river always knew where it was going. I found the same calm Continue reading

Berries. Stones. Songs.

There are moments when ancient scripture meets the landscapes that formed us, and something quietly transformative happens. This newly written hymn, inspired by Psalm 137, does exactly that—taking the ache of exile and setting it among the Glens of Antrim, where memory, belonging, and spiritual resonance run deep. Rather than retelling the psalm’s sorrow in Continue reading

Deep. Service. Keeper.

Psalm 107 honours those “who go down to the sea in ships,” discovering God’s steadfast love in storm and stillness alike. For Fr Mark Jackson, this truth has shaped years of ministry among those who serve upon the waters—through long watches, changing horizons, and the steadfast presence of God from Gibraltar’s Rock to every strait Continue reading

Wells. Flow. Baptise.

The Baptism of the Lord marks a threshold in the life of Jesus— a moment when he steps into the waters of the Jordan, blessed by his cousin John and revealed as God’s beloved Son. In Irish tradition, water, light, and the turning of seasons speak of renewal and calling. This hymn draws on those Continue reading

Machines. Mercy. Meaning.

In the long, measured hours of dialysis, I began to notice how healing is carried not only by machines and medicine, but by the people who sit beside us, the families who steady us, and the landscape we carry within. This hymn‑poem grew from that stillness—a way of naming the courage found in ordinary care,… Continue reading

Star. Blackthorn. Light.

On this Epiphany morning—Nollaig na mBan—we gather around quiet revelations: frost on bog cotton, bare branches holding promise, and the steady light that guides us home. A new hymn rises from the Irish landscape, blessing the unseen, the faithful, and the radiant Christ who meets us in every dawn. Continue reading

Star. Street. Sanctuary.

Star-led paths. Hidden gifts. A healing touch. On the twelfth day, we remember those who walk differently, pray deeply, and offer mercy in quiet ways. A hymn for the ones who follow light others miss—and for the saint who welcomed them. Continue reading
