I Meet You In My Falling

Dearest Fellow Seekers, I hope as you join me for this weeks journey that you are safe and well and are coping OK with however the Covid 19 Pandemic is affecting you and yours. This week The Prayer Path brings you week 4 of our 7 weekly lenten prayer journeys which, using the stations of the cross as signposts on the way, will guide you along the pilgrim path that Jesus took to Easter joy, The Calvary Way. We will be helping you imagine the scenes from the unique viewpoint of someone who encountered Jesus, loving, healing and forgiving ministry in their lives, and we imagine is now following him closely as he takes his passion journey, the woman judged to be in adultery. This week we encounter Jesus at the 7th and 8th Stations when he falls again and meets the women of Jerusalem. A BIG thank you to Vincent Sherlock for allowing me to use his wonderful book.

Be Strong, I Am With You

Dearest Fellow Seekers, This week The Prayer Path brings you week 2 of our 7 weekly lenten prayer journeys which, using the stations of the cross as signposts on the way, will guide you along the pilgrim path that Jesus took to Easter joy, The Calvary Way. For week 2 we encounter Jesus at stations 3 and 4, His first fall and His meeting His Mother. We will be helping you to imagine the scenes from the unique viewpoint of one of the people who encountered Jesus, loving, healing and forgiving ministry in their lives, and is now following him closely as he takes his passion journey, the woman judged to be in adultery.

Examen For A New Year

Dearest Fellow Seekers, For this special Episode of The Prayer Path I introduce you to The Examen Prayer practice. St. Ignatius pioneered the examen prayer in the 1500's. The Examen is a prayer which helps us to reflect on a past period of time and while it is mostly carried ouy for a previous day or perhaps even few hours, we can still apply the principles in reflecting on our past year, The Prayer is a method of reflecting and in so doing considering where we might find God at work in our lives, times of consolation, and on the other side of that same coin considering where finding God's hand is a more difficult challenge. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all who have listened to The Prayer Path journey's in 2019 - The Journeys have been listened to an humbling 2300 times so far. I pray that you will all find peace and happiness in 2020 and most importantly the consolation of The Devine in your lives through Prayer.

Come Light Our Way

Dearest Fellow Seekers. This week on The Prayer Path the focus moves to Advent and the coming of the light for which we wait patiently. 'In this sacred season we remember and celebrate the gift of Divine Love who leapt from the Holy Womb into the heart of humanity. This Loving Presence became for us a source of hope, compassion and courage.

OPEN - Let Your God Love You

Dearest Fellow Seekers The theme for this weeks Prayer Journey is Devine Love. The flow of love that the Devine has for YOU in every moment is unearned, constant, unending and ceaseless ……… what’s missing is your awareness of it, attention to it and openness to receive it. So on this Prayer Journey I invite you to take the time just to BE in this love which you have nothing to do to gain, nothing to do to make yourself worthy of…….. Nothing to do other than be open and allow. On the journey today, I lead you into a period of silent prayer, by giving voice to a wonderful poem prayer by Edwina Gately called Let your God Love You. The journey will then move forward with some reflective prompts guiding you to the end of the Path. Have a Peaceful Journey.

Peace - A Triune of Prayers

09 October 19 Dearest Fellow Seekers. I am honoured to bring you this weeks episode of The Prayer Path The theme for this weeks journey on The Prayer Path is Peace. Richard Rohr, in a recent meditation, refers to St. Francis whose definition of ‘peace to the world’ was inclusive in the absolute. ‘Sun, moon, animals, plants, elements and ALL humans are shown the same reverence and are all ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ to us all united with us through unity with God'. It is this posture of peace that I invite you to take with you as you travel the Prayer Path this week. The Prayer consists of 3 elements: 1. Music - Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. Sung by Jane Winther (FB - @unisound.dk) 2. Vow of Non Violence - Richard Rohr, Centre for Action and Contemplation (cac.org) 3.

'The Little Way' - Pouring Out Compassion and Love Open Heartedly

Dearest Fellow Seekers. Welcome to The Prayer Path. This week I’ve felt gently guided by the spirit, to bring you a prayer journey, inspired by a person who while only living a very short life of 24 years, has been canonised as a saint, has been made a doctor of the Roman Catholic Church, is recognised as one of a more modern generation of Christian mystics and has cultivated an enourmous devotion that crosses the boundaries of religious tradition. St. Therese of Lisieux, also affectionately known as ‘The Little Flower’, in her practice of her ‘Little Way’ opened her heart completely and courageously poured out unwaivering love on all with whom she came into contact however challenging. He simple way’s of kindness, compassion and love, which she determined were how she became closer to God, are an inspiration to us all. In todays prayer journey, adapting some words by Joyce Rupp, I invite you to courageously ponder where your compassion and love reside and to pray that through open heartedness their virutues might be fortified within you. Have a Peaceful Journey John Timed Running Order (So you can join where it suits you) Hello 0.00; Expressing your Desires 1.41; Invite to Prepare/Preparation for Prayer 3.50; Prayer 11.57; Peace Prayer 26.16; Thankyou and Goodbye 27.42
