The Litany of the Heart of Love Contemplation Day 2

 Contemplation on the Litany of the Heart of Love

The Litany of the Heart of Love is a very special and powerful form of prayer for us, which we want to share with you. It can be used in prayer and also for spiritual growth. The Litany of the Heart of Love can be used to immerse yourself in contemplation of the Trinity, the special relationship between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You can come to more intimately experience oneness with all Three and enter more deeply in awareness, into the love that flows from the Hearts of all Three in Unison. You can bring all your worries, fears, yearnings, problems here and find relief.

First pray the prayer.

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Surround us with Your love.

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Pour out Your grace upon us.

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Lead us to Mercy.

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Surround us with Your love.  Amen

Now, if you feel drawn to, you can use the prayer for more deeper contemplation. We focus on the first phrase.

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Surround us with Your love.

‘ You, held in the awesome totality of the love of the Trinity.’

What does it mean to be surrounded with the love of the Trinity? Take a moment to be still and enter into your inner awareness of God. Focus your perception outside of yourself and reach out to feel the love of the Trinity. This is Triune love. There is no greater. This is all the tender, loving, open love of the Father. This is all the compassionate, aware, sensitive, merciful love of the Son, this is all the powerful, proactive, engaging love of the Spirit, all working in a unity to embrace and hold you. You who might feel small, insignificant, helpless even hopeless sometimes. You, held in the awesome totality of the love of the Trinity.

May you feel the touch of this Love today and may you feel the blessing, the comfort, the strength, the hope of this love in your life, transfiguring the moment, transforming your life, right now. Amen

The Litany of the Heart of Love Day 1

 Every word of the Litany of the Heart of Love has been given by God. Every phrase is sacred and holy. It can be prayed as one prayer, broken down into small individual prayers, used to gain deeper knowledge of the love and power of theTrinity or used as a crucible in which to hold a person and find the most powerful of responses.

Prayer from new booklet: Go forward confidently

 We hope to soon share a third booklet on grief called Journey Forward.

Here is a prayer from it:

Go forward confidently, 

blessed by Love. 

May Christ’s Light 

guide, 

teach, 

lead, 

illuminate, 

reveal, 

heal, 

enfold 

and 

keep you 

safe.

Amen

Each Prayer is Precious

 

When everything feels impossible, yet still we somehow cope and survive and find moments of grace, we cannot know how each person’s loving thoughts or caring has touched our lives and lifted us.

Each prayer is so precious.

Each moment’s comfort may be because someone prayed and continued to pray, even in seemingly hopeless situations, where no way forward seemed possible.

Always believe in the power of prayer to bring comfort, change, hope, even miracles.

Delighted- new articles

 

We are delighted to say that the Faith Companion has published our articles on Suffering and on the prayer booklet, Only Love. Also a meditation on Hope, which is much needed now, with such turmoil in the world.

Here is a small excerpt of the “ Theology of the Cross” article:

‘The Heart of Love is eternal. Christ in the world, though His Passion brings about a quantum shift in energy and new knowledge of all Three, bringing a sea-change of our awareness and the possibility of our being One in a new way with the Trinity. Without the Passion, we cannot have eternal life. Without Christ’s death and Resurrection we cannot come to know and be empowered in the same way by the Holy Spirit, for now we all have intimate access to all Three Persons of the Trinity, only through His great Sacrifice for us. Without Christ’s Prayer we cannot come to so easily know and talk to the Father, who cares for us all. We cannot be as safe, as wise, as rich in understanding without all Three. The Cross is the means by which the world’s and heaven’s relationship shifted and became Hope for all. 

  But in order to understand how this came about, it is essential to contemplate the Cross and for those who are pinioned upon it with no help of escape through sickness, pain, assault, betrayal, abandonment, injustice, torture and have no way of escaping it, it is a hidden blessing.’

Bless all who suffer and struggle, no matter what their situation. Amen

Be a Light

 

When the world oppresses us

And fear stalks every corner

Lord be a Light to guide us

Be a Shield to protect us

Be a Ray of Hope in the gathering darkness.

Be a source of Wisdom to lead us safely on.

Amen

Prayer of protection

Lord, we ask that you shield 

And come to the aid

Of all those in need of protection,

That your angels guard them 

and guide them safely

Through each moment, minute, hour, day.

May hope remain a solace 

In the fortresses of their hearts,

May truth and justice strengthen them

May unexpected goodness

Find each person’s life

And bless it,

Even in the times of greatest struggle.

May fortitude win through 

In every circumstance and distress.

Amen
