Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.

Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm.

Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence.

Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.

Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace.

Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.

Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth.

Replace the night within us with Your light.

Replace the winter within us with Your spring.

Straighten our crookedness.

Fill our emptiness.

Dull the edge of our pride.

Sharpen the edge of our humility.

Light the fires of our love.

Quench the flames of our lust.

Let us see ourselves as You see us,

that we may see You as You have promised,

And be fortunate according to Your word,

Blessed are the pure of heart,

for they shall see God. Amen.

Good Luck! to Tyrone Minor Team

Accord N.I. is organising courses for inter-church couples preparing for marriage. These courses are similar in content to the standard Accord courses and cover commitment, communication, conflict resolution, Church and children. The difference on an inter-church course is that we have a special session where representatives from the 4 main Christian Churches come together to present their Church’s official view on inter-church marriage. The courses run on Sundays (10.00am-5.00pm) and Tuesday evenings (7.00pm-10.00pm)

You must complete both days of the course. Dates for 2010 are June 27th/29th, September 26th/28th, October 24th/26th November 28th/30th. The venue for these dates is the Dunsilly Inn Hotel, Antrim. Fee £110. Book online www.accordni.com or contact Brenda Russell on 028 90233002 or email: brussell@accordni.com
