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

Penrose and the Tyrone Senior 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.
