I wrote this special prayer on holy island, Lindisfarne, preparing for my pilgrimage, of walking around the Diocese of York for six months.
It is a prayer in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Father in Heaven
Mold me to Christ’s likeness
and stir up in me the fire of your love.
Holy Spirit
Fill me with your power
And help me to tell of the love and salvation in Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus Christ
Son of the Father
Renew my friendship in you, and help me to serve you with a quite mind and a burning spirit.
Father, Son, and Holy spirit,
Please keep me in the joy, simplicity, and compassion of your Holy Gospel.
Amen
I encountered Jesus Christ at the age of ten and he gave me one of his greatest gifts: The gift of joy.
That joy has made me the sort of person I am, constantly wanting to tell other people about his love, his forgiveness, and his greatest gift of life.
Why not try the same thing? Ask him to give you the gift of joy.
You will be so bubbling with his love, that you cant help but tell others about him.
