Rejoice...

...that was the simple, one word answer the somewhat fierce and occasionally barking Apostle Paul gave when asked what folk should do whilst awaiting the Second Coming of Christ.

I doubt even the foresighted saint would have imagined that his glorious injunction might apply to a cricket match some two millennia later - but today I do believe it is not theologically inappropriate to greet the news that England have triumphed in the first of the one-day finals against Australia with the simple exaltation - Rejoice!
