Prayer

It's not thinking about it, reading about it, blogging about it, searching for it, seeking after it, desiring it; IT IS just DOING IT!

Know your heart is always praying, but what do we feed our heart with?
Thoughts...

Saint Silouan was given "Keep thy mind in hell and despair not" by Jesus.
Hell was the turmoil of his heart, and, gradually, through time, practicing patience, humility and love, Jesus brought him restoration, and the peace and life with God for which he hoped.

Blessed Saint Silouan ... Pray to God for us.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy upon us...

Born again...

A Birthday is a millstone, sorry, milestone...

If I haven't shed some of the attributes that make me less human;

Like speech which does not edify or thoughts that are not checked,

then I am no more improved since this time last year, in fact, I am impoverished!

To restore His image in me, I am called to hold all I am in and to Him, so He can complete His work in me.

Philippians 1 v 6 ...

... being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion...

Complete... Whole...Peaceful...

When

This year has seen great changes in circumstance.

Modifying IDENTITY is the key to Peace; So I will follow where He leads.

In everything, my heart will find Him whom it seeks - For this I have been created, and called, to co-operate in restoring His image in all aspects of life and death.

Of this I can be confident ... He is Faithful!

Lord, Have Mercy...

Yesterday, Today and Forever

What does this mean?
The writers of the New Testament wrote some of their experiences and encounters with Jesus in letters to The Church. If, therefore, what we believe we experience of God, and what we believe He is 'sending' to and 'asking' of us does not stand by the witness, experience and example as in the lives of His servants and handmaidens down the ages, we need to examine our heart and mind in the Light of revealed Faith.

This is the rule of thumb...
Jesus said "If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. Come to me... Take my yoke on you and learn from Me, because I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light".


Grant us O Lord, Your Grace and Mercy, so that in Peace, we may truly love and serve Thee; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
