Belfasts Motto

So today I joined a choir thats coming together especially for the Centenary celebrations at Queens. And we are singing the most beautiful newly written song about Belfast, Queens and just general lovely stuff. One of the *composers notes* on the music says;

"Pro tanto quid retribuamus" which translates as "In return for so much, what will we give back?"

I was just thinking about that for ages, and how God is making the most amazing things happen in Belfast. For all that he has given us in this beautiful and wonderful city which i am so passionate about, what will I give back?
How can I ever give something back to a city which I have fallen in love with, which my heart has broken for? For a city so broken and divided but yet so full of hope? There's hope written on the walls, on the pavements and in our hearts.

What can I do but whisper that hope? Whisper into the darkness and try to find the light hidden there
