CMHI prayer and Bible verse booklet – now available

Posted on: /in /by

We are delighted to launch a new CMHI prayer/Bible verse booklet in response to requests from people who have found our beautiful prayer cards useful, and asked us for something longer. This is a 12-page booklet, in black-and-white for easy printing, that contains beautiful prayers, some familiar friends from the Book of Common Prayer, and others new companions written by CMHI. There are Bible verses on the themes of love, peace, and light in the darkness. Finally, the booklet contains a page for your own journaling or notes. This is an ideal booklet for anyone who needs comfort or spiritual guidance, and perfect for those in hospital who want to pray and read some verses from Scripture. Contact hello@ministryofhealing.ie to ask about copies – we do ask for a small donation, if possible, to support our work and help us to offer our ministry as widely as possible.

 

Prayer of Examen – CMHI resource

Posted on: /in /by

The Examen is a spiritual practice that has been used since the 16th century. CMHI provides you with a gentle, Anglican, version. In this prayer, we notice God’s presence, and name it, at both the joyful and the sorrowful times.

Like other forms of contemplative prayer, using the Examen practice regularly may aid you in discerning God’s voice in your life. When we direct our attention to God, he shows us the ways in which we will be helped by focusing our time and energy on him, and guides us away from the things that do not help us.

This is a short, mindful, kindly spiritual practice that helps us to find God in the everyday as we pause at evening-time to look back over the joys and laments of the day, and to focus on where God spoke to us, even if we may not have heard his voice at the time.
