  • OPEN - Let Your God Love You

    Dearest Fellow Seekers The theme for this weeks Prayer Journey is Devine Love. The flow of love that the Devine has for YOU in every moment is unearned, constant, unending and ceaseless ……… what’s missing is your awareness of it, attention to it and openness to receive it. So on this Prayer Journey I invite you to take the time just to BE in this love which you have nothing to do to gain, nothing to do to make yourself worthy of…….. Nothing to do other than be open and allow. On the journey today, I lead you into a period of silent prayer, by giving voice to a wonderful poem prayer by Edwina Gately called Let your God Love You. The journey will then move forward with some reflective prompts guiding you to the end of the Path. Have a Peaceful Journey.

  • The Divine Everywhere
    Dearest Fellow Seekers,
    I am honoured to bring you this weeks, season ending episode of The Prayer Path.
    The theme for this weeks episode is 'Finding God In All Things' and on the Prayer Journey today, through the use of some music, a passage of text and some reflective questions, I will be inviting you to consider that EVERYTHING, …..every creature, every aspect of nature, every person and every situation,  has the power to reveal something, however small of what God is like. God is not playing hide and seek with us…………The Divine is there all the time …………………if only we had we had the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

  • Peace - A Triune of Prayers

    09 October 19 Dearest Fellow Seekers. I am honoured to bring you this weeks episode of The Prayer Path The theme for this weeks journey on The Prayer Path is Peace. Richard Rohr, in a recent meditation, refers to St. Francis whose definition of ‘peace to the world’ was inclusive in the absolute. ‘Sun, moon, animals, plants, elements and ALL humans are shown the same reverence and are all ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ to us all united with us through unity with God'. It is this posture of peace that I invite you to take with you as you travel the Prayer Path this week. The Prayer consists of 3 elements: 1. Music - Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. Sung by Jane Winther (FB - @unisound.dk) 2. Vow of Non Violence - Richard Rohr, Centre for Action and Contemplation (cac.org) 3. 'Peace Prayer'  - St. Francis Have a Peaceful Journey John Timed Running Order: Introduction 0.00 ; Setting Your Desires 2.12; Introducing This Weeks Prayer 4.13; Preparation for Prayer 5.29; Prayer 10.30; Goodbye and Thankyou 28.00.

  • The Narrower Path - God You Make A Way
    Dearest Fellow Seekers,
    I am honoured to bring you another Episode of The Prayer Path - The Narrower Path.
    This week on the Narrower Path I invite you to pray with me about difficult journeys – we all have them! Whether it is simply the journey of the challenging, busy day ahead, or a difficult decision you have to make, the relationship you need to repair or indeed move on from, the looming medical appointment or the business trip you must make. Whatever it is, this prayer asks you to be mindful that not only does God journey alongside you and at times of great struggle carry you but has also gone before you, preparing the way for you through this difficult journey – and asks us to TRUST. 
    This week on the Narrower Path I have included music Courtesy of  Salt of The Sound. The track is ' Made A Way' from thier EP 'The Steepest Slopes' found at https://saltofthesound.bandcamp.com/track/made-a-way. I can't thank them enough for allowing me to include their music.
    Have a Peaceful Journey

  • 'The Little Way' - Pouring Out Compassion and Love Open Heartedly

    Dearest Fellow Seekers. Welcome to The Prayer Path. This week I’ve felt gently guided by the spirit, to bring you a prayer journey, inspired by a person who while only living a very short life of 24 years, has been canonised as a saint, has been made a doctor of the Roman Catholic Church, is recognised as one of a more modern generation of Christian mystics and has cultivated an enourmous devotion that crosses the boundaries of religious tradition. St. Therese of Lisieux, also affectionately known as ‘The Little Flower’, in her practice of her ‘Little Way’ opened her heart completely and courageously poured out unwaivering love on all with whom she came into contact however challenging. He simple way’s of kindness, compassion and love, which she determined were how she became closer to God, are an inspiration to us all. In todays prayer journey, adapting some words by Joyce Rupp, I invite you to courageously ponder where your compassion and love reside and to pray that through open heartedness their virutues might be fortified within you. Have a Peaceful Journey John Timed Running Order (So you can join where it suits you) Hello 0.00; Expressing your Desires 1.41; Invite to Prepare/Preparation for Prayer 3.50; Prayer 11.57; Peace Prayer 26.16; Thankyou and Goodbye 27.42

  • The Narrower Path - 'From Failure Up' by Patrick Kavanagh
    Welcome to another episode of The Prayer Path, The Narrower Path. This week on The Narrower Path I give voice to a beautiful Poem by the Irish Poet Patrick Kavanagh called 'From Failure Up'. In the poem Kavanagh, who refers to The Divine as God, asks whether it's not in the depths of our deepest despair and shattered parts of our lives that we find the greatest growth, healing, hope and meaning and indeed, the greatest sense of The Presence of The Divine at work in our lives.

  • Causeway of Grace - Connecting 'Lived life' with 'Prayer Life'
    Dearest Fellow Seekers,
    We are deligheted to bring you this weeks episode of The Prayer Path.
    Inspired by the writings of Margaret Silf, The Prayer Path journey this week focuses on how we can illuminate the illusive connection between our Everyday lived Life and our prayer life so we can integrate one with the other. The wonderful image she gives us is of a tidally submerged sacred Causeway connecting the mainland of your lived experience and the holy island of your prayer time – a channel of grace. But before that I invite you to spend just a few minutes preparing your body and mind for prayer
    Have a Peaceful Journey

    Welcome to the first episode of The Prayer Path's 'The Narrower Path'which will be released every Sunday.

In last wednesdays Prayer Path journey we focused on The Welcoming Prayer, and how it might be used as a practice to bring healing to the negative emotions and feelings created by hurt and injustice. This beautiful blessing gives expression to both the hurt and how it can bring about the sometimes unexpected fruit of healing. Have a Peaceful Journey

  • The Welcoming Prayer - 'Your Daily Bread'
    The focus of this weeks Prayer Path journey is the practice of the The Welcoming Prayer referred to by Richard Rohr in his Beautiful Book – 'Just This'. Mary Mrozowski, who formulated the prayer says of its practice ‘To welcome and let go is one of the most radically loving, faith filed gestures we can make in each moment of the day. It is an open hearted embrace of all that is in ourselves and in the world’.
