CAN YOU FEEL IT?
This blog shares prayers, spiritual reflections and insights. It is immersed in the love of the Holy Trinity, which we call the Heart of Love. The Holyway is a choice to live a spiritual path, blessed by the Heart of Love.
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
No matter how desperate your situation,
Can you feel the Power of God at work at Pentecost? Open your hearts to receive His Spirit. Flow in the ever present awesome energy of Love and Mercy that flows out from the Cross for all time.
Let us rejoice in the coming of the Spirit. Than trust in His guidance. Feel alive in your whole being. Let love help you transcend all suffering and still find hope, that ignites possibility, brings you to new understanding, blesses you forever more. Amen
I am struck by how hard we are on ourselves : "Oh, if only you knew how I really am..." "If only you knew my many failings, if only you knew my thoughts..." "It's all a show, I am a fraud through and through, how could anyone , if they REALLY knew me, love me ?"
A video on the peace that comes from being still in nature.
May you find time to be still and find oneness with your environment and know the peace of God. Amen
Here we share a video Greg made about the joy and peace you can find just sitting still on a bench.
If you can find time to be still and soak up the peace of now, may it fill you and bless you. Amen
This beautiful song is written and played by Greg. He is multitalented. He drew the beautiful vibrant coloured drawings too, please do take a look and make a comment if you like it. Thanks.
Day 17
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Surround us all and the whole world to the end of time and back to the beginning, with Your Love. Amen
Help us not to feel that all is hopeless and that we are individually or collectively too small, insignificant and helpless to make the needed changes. Help us to see the urgency and always act with integrity and a compassionate heart, in the best interest of all. Amen
Later on in the year we will hopefully publish a course of reflections and questions based on the Creator God.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
.......individual prayer request..........
Here we take time to reflect on our own situation and ask God to help us see how we can make a positive difference and save us all ultimately.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Be with us as we pray for all the lost species, all the damaged waterways, all the overcrowded cities, all the polluted air, the melting ice caps, the impact of climate change, the broken lives, may all be made new.
Let our hearts break and our tears unleash to recognise and grieve the lost lives, the beautiful creatures now gone or at risk of forever being extinct, due to our careless management of the bounty and resources you have given us freely. Let our tears wash the world clean of all hatred and greed. Let a new path of cooperation open up to save our planet and future generations of both human and animal kingdoms. Let us honour and respect nature. Help us us bring harmony to the world in all we do. May tomorrow carry more hope and less fear for the whole of creation.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Let there be miracles of healing and restoration, of wisdom and a new vision for all of us to live peacefully together.
Surely we can raise our gaze higher and look for a new direction, new wisdom for how to love and cherish the earth and all who live in it, plants, insects, trees, animals, the very beautiful awesome mountains, rivers, seas, skies, the weather, all are alive with energy and deserve to be honoured. Let us ask for miracles, a change of vision, a commitment to healing, to compassion, to understanding, to peace, a humility when we look at all of nature and a commitment to tread carefully and walk gently into a better future in all our environments, respecting all the universe. Amen.
Lord comfort us in our loss,
Console us in our grief,
Give us the strength to carry on,
We ask in faith. Amen “
We are delighted that the Faith Companion has published our article, ‘Reflecting on the fullness of a hidden life’ in its Faith in Action section.
https://www.thefaithcompanion.co.uk/
It is a reflection on how to include the hidden housebound in honouring the lives of loved ones at funerals and includes poems and prayers that we hope will touch people’s lives.
It is now available as a print copy as well as online as an e copy.
We will also be publishing it soon on Holyway, so please watch out for it.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Heal us now, so that we can be better people, make our ways straight, so that we can live in harmony and balance with all of the earth.
Lord we carry such woundedness in our lives. So many devastations are impacting people. There are wars, deadly diseases, destructive natural phenomena. The sea level is rising. The water and air is polluted. Nature is overwhelming us leaving destruction in its path, from Tsunami’s, tornadoes, earthquakes, huge storms, flooding on a grand scale. People are being made homeless. Help us see how to work together to make a better, safer world, where we honour nature and respect every living creature as well as the earth, the sky, the sea.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Bring us to life, save the planet and all You have created from human greed, destruction, ignorance, arrogance and careless mismanagement.
We hope it is not too late to change the terrifying destruction we will witness in our lifetimes, unless we take action to respect all life and all creation. We have already wrought so much destruction that is truly shocking and sad beyond words. Bless every creature, every stone, every rock, every structure, every home, every person. May all our ways be made straight. Lord save us now, guide us now, help us act now, to save the Earth and all our communities.
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Open our hearts with compassion to all your creatures, lead us to care in a better, honest way, for all of them,
Save their habitats, restore their numbers, love them for what they are and protect them from harm and extinction.
Lord, you know all the harm that has been and continues to be done to nature. You know the future, for your view is far reaching. You know how we can change. Open our eyes to see. Open our ears to hear. Open our hearts to love. Lord, help us to help all your beloved creatures. Let us rejoice in their beauty, not selfishly, greedily or dispassionately kill them or destroy their habitats. Guide us in new ways. Affirm all that is good and hopeful. Help us change, Lord, before it is too late.
Today I bless the sky
Day 10
Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator
Fill us with confidence that we might dare to hope for a better, more balanced, cleaner, fresh environment, teaming with life as you made it to be, free from fear and destruction.
Oh Lord, help us to see what needs doing in our lives, environments, countries, continents and how it might peacefully be achieved. Give us the strength to face the future and change its outcome to a more peaceful, harmonious, protected, balanced world where we honour nature and recognise our part in its demise and destruction. Give us hope and eyes to see. Gives us wisdom to know what we can do. Help us be honest about the changes we must all make. Guide us ever in the way of healing and love. Help us be true to your way which is always Love and Mercy.
