Silence is golden especially when we need to Connect with God and find our way into our souls.
Dear Family of Love and Pilgrim's on Our Journey!
Happy Take Care Tuesday and the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels! It has been one busy day! This is my second writing venture of the day. I put together our parish newsletter today and that is always a challenge but well worth it.Spending time at the Faith Factory is like being on a retreat without having to go to a fancy retreat center. Where is your zone of peace and reflection? Do you have to drive to it or is it at home when you go off the grid and make sure your house is on silent mode? What does your house sound like while you are reading this? Silence is a gift that we take for granted and need to take time for. Silence is our gateway into our souls and the way we have a kind of spiritual GPS to God. Tonight we are going to have a time silence where we don't do anything for a period of 5 to 10 minutes with our eyes closed. You might want to find something that has a timer on it so that you will be ready to go into silence and not have to run around finding the timer. Before we do that let us do our breathing exercises to get us ready and relaxed. Do these for three sets.
Inhale
Exhale
Be still and know that I am God

Be Still and Know

Now let us set our timer for 5 or 10 minutes:
Close our eyes and don't move, just be. How did that feel? Keep working at it and you will master this wonderful time of mindfulness and contemplation.
Let us be at prayer and take our time being in conversation and listening with God.
God of Love, we pray this night for all who don't feel your loving arms around them. Help us to love the unloving and wrap our loving arms around them.
God of Creation, we give thanks to you for all that you have made and may we walk tenderly in God's Cathedral of Life.
God of Love, we pray for peace in this fragile and broken world. Heal all divisions and lead us to be peacemakers and hope bearers.
God of Creation, we pray for rain and an awareness that we are called to be conservationists and stewards of this planet that you called into being.
God of Love, we pray that we all may be lead to full inclusion as Your family Members.
God of Healing, we pray for all our family members both great and small who are ill and seek your healing touch . May they receive your healing and loving grace.
God of Life, may we take time to live as you would have us do. May we respond to your call and follow you wherever you lead us.
God of all Mercy, we pray for all who are transitioning towards a new live with You in the Thin Places and all who have made the heavenly and joyous journey into eternal life.
