Dear friends,

The pandemic which has its grip on the whole world
has sparked much talk and fear because of the economic impact.
Doubtless there is a much anxiety and uncertainty all around - and perhaps in us.
Right at the centre, I believe,
this is a spiritual challenge and time of spiritual growth too.
I have previously posted a suggestion about praying during the time of Lent
but this is not for Lent - this is for Life. 
Let us use this time to learn and discover
new aspects of our own spiritual life.
Below you will find a reworked suggestion for daily prayer: 

Use the rhythm of prayer
– proposed for morning, noon and noon and evening.  Spend 10-30 minutes on the following:

1. Calm yourself taking some deep breaths.
2. Notice what you are grateful for. If you use a journal, write down three things.
3. Ask the help of the Spirit and receive His presence.
4. Review the day, looking for times when God has been present and times when you have left him out.
5. Express sorrow for sin and ask for God’s forgiving love.
6. In intercession, pray for 3 things (people, situations)
7. Receive his grace and love.  
    
   May this time be a time of planting and being nurtured for Life.  May God in his grace and love be with us all. Amen​
