Seasonal Resources
On Holy Hills Where Fires Once Burned
A Service of Light and Stillness for All Hallows’ Eve
A complete 60-minute service of quiet reflection for All Hallows’ Eve (31 October), offering a prayerful alternative to the noise and activity of Hallowe’en.
Based on the original NeuroDivine hymn On Holy Hills Where Fires Once Burned, the service draws on the Irish autumn landscape, the changing seasons, the communion of saints, and Christ as the enduring Light of the World.
The service is arranged around six verses of the hymn, each followed by a short reflection and a period of silence. It is designed for a church or other quiet setting, with subdued lighting and a central candle representing the Light of Christ.
Suitable for parish worship, small groups, or private devotion, the resource includes opening and closing prayers, reflections, and practical guidance for preparing the space.
Free to download and use. The complete order of service may be downloaded, printed, and photocopied for non-commercial worship and devotional use, with appropriate acknowledgement.

Carried
A Bedside Service of Prayer and Thanksgiving
In the quiet corners of care—ward corridors, bedside chairs, and staff rooms—words often fail us. Carried is a liturgy written for the weary, the waiting, and those who hold the space in between. Whether you are a patient, a healthcare professional, or a companion, these blessings are designed to acknowledge the “Circuit of Care” that binds us together.
- Opening Words
- Prayers for the Fatigued
- Blessings for Nurses
- Closing Words
Go Deeper with “The Bears’ Book of Blessings”
While the liturgy offers a framework for prayer, the stories behind the care are captured in my book, Carried: The Bears’ Book of Blessings.
This collection pairs the liturgy with tender stories of the Bears—like Otto’s sensory adaptations and Custard’s quiet presence—offering warmth where words falter. It is a “quilt of prayer” for those who face what cannot be fixed.
- Format: Available in a beautiful physical edition, perfect for keeping at a bedside or gifting to a carer.
- Where to Buy: Purchase via Lulu.com
We go now, not fixed but held.
