Come Holy Spirit, Bless me with your ever-giving presence

Come Holy Spirit, 

Bless me with your ever-giving presence

The Holy Spirit is an ever-flowing, ever-loving, ever giving-presence. It is the nature of the Holy Spirit to bring messages of Truth to enlighten and give Wisdom to the people, to bring gifts of Healing as well as gifts of Spiritual Discernment. 

The Holy Spirit gives them freely. There is no transaction or game of control bring played out here. This is unconditional loving, free flowing provision. 

All we need do is ask, open our hearts and minds, pray and accept. Amen

Come Holy Spirit, Intercede for me,

Come Holy Spirit, 

Intercede for me, knowing my every need intimately

When we call upon the Spirit, the Spirit is with us. The Spirit is Knowledge, Wisdom, Truth, shines Love and Mercy wherever the Spirit flows. The Spirit knows our every need, can discern clearly, can see everything, even when we cannot. 

The Spirit knows how to pray. There is no separation from the Father and the Son, for they are all One. This is the meaning of the Trinity and ultimately they are the Heart of Love - the combined Love of all Three, flowing, infinitely, together forever, holding us all.

So when we are in great need, when we have no words to express either that need or our pain, the Spirit sees us, feels our distress, speaks on our behalf, prays directly for us, intercedes for us. And thus we can be comforted and know with certainty that the Spirit will fly to our side whatever circumstance we find ourselves in and hold us in prayer, Amen.

Come Holy Spirit, pray

Come Holy Spirit, come

Come Holy Spirit,

Pray with me, pray in me, pray through me, pray for me.The Holy Spirit is the power house of prayer. Calling on the Spirit brings a surge of energy, light and strength to us as we pray. You can feel the Spirit is here with you. There is a change of energy and awareness. There is an ever present glow and flow of dynamic love. 

Prayer is not passive or one-sided, mediocre or ineffective. It is alive in the Spirit. The Spirit prompts us and guides us to know how to pray and what to pray. When we are too weak or in need of consolation and strength, the Spirit prays for us directly. So we can always rely on the Spirit to meet our need and help us, at all times, in our prayer life. This is an incredible gift. It must surely embolden us. For the Spirit needs no words. The Spirit is Love in Action. Even our silent tears are a prayer when blessed with this Love.

And so we say in absolute confidence and trust, come Holy Spirit come and pray, now!

Come Holy Spirit, let me speak wisely

Come Holy Spirit, 

Let me speak wisely

The Holy Spirit represents wisdom - gives us this essential gift. Great wisdom is needed to walk a path of light and goodness through your life.

Wisdom requires us not to react hastily, judge wrongly or answer foolishly, it guides us in seeing truth and balancing decision making. It leads us on a safe path, lifted by the energy of the Spirit, which is Love.

Let us ask for this gift in abundance then, for it shines the clearest light on complex circumstances and difficult choices. It whispers in your heart  and brings a feeling of rightness and fairness. You know when a decision is wise for you can sense it is so. It uplifts, sustains, blesses, invigorates, gives confidence on your spiritual journey.

Holy Spirt, help me see clearly

Come Holy Spirit, come

Help me see clearly

At times of loss, limitation, change, doubt and confusion, it is easy to get caught up in fear; to see the worst scenarios playing out; to not feel at all safe. It is then that we must surely call upon the Spirit and immerse ourselves in the Love of the Holy Trinity. 

Did Jesus not use the phrase, ‘Be not afraid’ more times than any other phrase? Let us find comfort in that, fir fear, though it nay be based on realistic outcome, can also incapacitate and twist things, stealing hope away. 

When the Spirit comes we can feel the energy of love with us, surrounding us, strengthening us, guiding us. When we feel lost and confused and don't know what to do, when we are in need of light and clarity, let us ask with confidence for clear vision, for the Spirit will help us. 

We need but ask in trust and faith. Oh how much we need to set a clear safe path, through these complicated turbulent times, where fear can so easily unhinge us all.

On praying the Our Father

The Pope called for people to pray the Our Father today at midday. This is the most wonderful prayer of protection. Let us be confident as we pray in Faith that God hears and answers us, for this is the most intimate prayer we have of the Son to The Father.
A prayer that we and many people learn as children is the Our Father, though the depth of wisdom and understanding we now have, in relation to this prayer, were only received through great personal suffering and personal insight. We have only understood the beauty, the power and the protection of this prayer as adults, through revelation, praying it and entering deeply upon a path of suffering with trust and confidence in the truth of the Word of God and as such we want to more fully share this learning, for it is deep and rich and overarching in its breadth. We pray this prayer often when we pray to the Heart of Love. It is a prayer especially helpful for the beginning and ending of contemplation and before other specific prayers which lead to a deepening of prayer life. It enables

confidence in the protection of Our Lord. For the more deeply we pray, the more spiritual protection we require.

So as we come to pray this prayer, let us open our hearts to the love and the truth and the beauty therein. Let us not say these words in dullness, out of habit and routine. Let us enter fully with faith and more than this, with knowledge that these words truly will protect us and bring us safe passage, through any circumstance, for they are a promise of God with us and the life yet to come. Amen

Our Father

Who art in heaven

Hallow be thy name,

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done on earth

As it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those

Who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil.

Amen

On prayer

The most powerful tool that God can give us, is the power of prayer, for it is the way that we can connect truly and immediately with God. 

We can pray to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit or to the Trinity, the awesome Heart of Love. There are many prayers, both individual or for group worship, both formal and informal, spoken and silent. Some rely on the prayers and practices of others, others rely on their own direct connection and simply speak from their heart. No matter how you approach prayer, be confident and reassured: God hears them all.

What is so moving is the felt presence of God, when people pray in absolute trust and faith. Each word then glistens with the power of the Holy Spirit, new depth of insight, new visions of hope can be inspired.

When a person prays ardently and sincerely the Word of God shines out deepening its meaning, transcending the present moment, linking all in the hope beyond time that emanates from the truth of the Heart of Love.

The most wonderful, awesome presence of God links and unites all. Transformed in the silence, one single person praying in sincerity, touches the whole world. And nothing can be the same again.

We are reminded that all things are possible, nothing is set, there can be change, goodness, can, will and does flow.

When people pray together, linked by the Heart of Love, we can trust with all certainty that this day is blessed and a path of love has opened to the whole world.
