A prayer for the week
Grant to us O Lord this day the royalty of inward happiness and the serenity that comes from living close to Thee. Daily renew in us the sense of joy and let the eternal spirit of the Father dwell in our heart and mind, filling every corner of our hearts with light and grace, so that bearing about us the infection of a good courage, we may be diffusers of Life and may meet all ills and cross accidents with gallant and high hearted happiness, giving thee thanks alway for all things.
Amen

The aim is to provide an opportunity for stillness and reflection for visitors of any faith or none in the beautiful setting of Gleneagles, a chance to wander around this recently created wild garden or walk the grass maze and finish the afternoon with a short service in the private 16th century chapel.
The first Quiet Garden was a dream of The Rev Philip Roderick that came true over 25 years ago. The Trust to which the Quiet Gardens are affiliated is in Buckinghamshire and has the vision of spreading a network of opportunities for stillness and reflection aided by the beauty of the garden.
