For 6 November 2020, Friday of week 31 in Ordinary Time, based on Philippians 3:17-4:1
Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation so that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

A wonderful image! I would like to press the restart button every morning as I get up, and after my words come out without mature reflection! The election too is a chance to set the restart button, I think we also are imagining the future when we finally get the pandemic under control, and politically begin again without anger and selfishness to the fore! With loving regards for great leadership, Nick Punch
