WEEK OF ACCOMPANIED PRAYER

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Week of Accompanied Prayer in its various forms. There was a very strong sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit throughout the week. Here are the comments from some of the people who attended the closing ceremony on Saturday evening.

 The Prayer Week was a true blessing. Thanks to my prayer guide “Marie” for teaching me new prayer and bringing me closer to understanding and closer to God.
 To come, helps me so much. Get me out of my ordinary thoughts, my life, it gives me a wonderful feeling of peace and serenity – a new dimension.
 It has been an amazing opportunity to be involved in private and communal prayer, and to pray with the Blessed Sacrament in the church. I loved the talks and the chance to have a Prayer Companion.
 This week has been wonderful. Food for the Soul. Once a fortnight or month would be lovely.
 It has been a pleasure to do Exposition for the whole week for you all and I have prayed foe all involved in the special week.
 A privilege to be asked/invited to be a guide – a very humbling experience and really uplifting.
 Inspirational RETREAT / Inspired by the sharing God’s love
 I found the week most beneficial. It gave me a fresh view of the meaning and art of praying and relationship to God
 As a guide, it was a privilege to experience so much trust and respect (in) the participant and to see God in the person’s life.
 The guided prayer was absolutely marvellous. Is it possible if the guides were willing to continue to meet and grow in God’s love through his words once a month or fortnight.
 The talks by Fr Duffy were really inspiring and uplifting. They were also a great help to pray on.
 Gratitude for the work of the Holy Spirit.
 So, so wonderful
 It was very helpful to slip off the daily treadmill and to reflect on the Hol Scripture with a companion. Thank you for giving of yourself.
 One Word – LOVE. One sentence – It really was a “retreat in everyday life” – while the cacophony of everyday life carried on . I was given a chance to try to single out the “Still Small voice of Calm”
 I kept a prayer diary which will / has helped remind me of each days journey. Thank you.
 This week has increased a longing for me. A hunger – a thirst that I cannot seem to quench.
 A very good week, the Spirit is rollicking away!
 The Week was very rewarding – the opportunity to meet and pray with my prayer guide was a very prayerful experience. Thank you to all who organised the week.
 I wish it didn’t have to end. A most enlightening experience.
 A lovely week where we prayed with poems, paintings, sculpture, Icons and together in silence. A wonderful experience of the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit generating a wonderful sense of peace. Thank you
