John 17:11 "I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one." |
Ascension
Holy Spirit of Love, Help me to ascend beyond my physical limitations, for the world of man imposes many burdens upon me and places many obstacles in my path and sometimes my light fails me. Lift me up when I succumb to darkness, Raise me from the self-destruction that seems so ingrained in my physical form and hold me in the quiet countenance of your unconditional love, for there is much work to do to awaken the world, and heavy is the darkness that smothers the flame of hope. Amen. |
Forgiveness
Holy Spirit of Love, I am an imperfect creation, but I am learning. I may have hurt or offended others, but I am trying, I may fall at times, but I am steadfast and earnest on my journey toward divine enlightenment. In your presence, I am restored to perfection. In your light, all wounds are healed. What right have I to offer the world anything less than the grace of forgiveness which you show me? In your name and in the name of all that you have created, I will rise to try again, I will live to find a better way, And I will be the state of love that transcends all illusion and loves without bounds. Amen. |
Prayer For Release
Dear Holy Spirit, I seek you with all my heart, I thirst for you in this land where there is no water; I hunger for you, in this land where there is no food; Deliver me from this barren existence where pain and fear are my constant companions; Raise me up; Release me from the burden of these earthly chains; Let me know the peace of eternal rest; Spare me the misery to come; For I am without luck or hope and heavy is my heart with the burden of my own existence; Amen |
Prayer to the Holy Ghost
Irma Carew Sr. 1947 Oh, Divine Spirit, Fill me with love and compassion. Truly thou dost manifest thy power within my humble soul. Kindle thy divine fire within my heart that I may never falter in my chosen path to follow the words and works of Jesus Christ. Thou hast forgiven and made tranquil my spirit when I have sorely offended thee. Oh, everlasting love of Jesus Christ, come within my heart and make me steadfast. Help me, oh help me conquer each of my sins and take me in thy guiding arms. Tears flow passionately when I think of my past devotion and its fulfillment with Thy divine grace. Long has it been since I sat in thy presence, my soul in communion with thee. Oh Sacred Heart, O, Holy Ghost, O, Divine healer of all ills, take my spirit unto thee and cure its afflictions. Amen. |
Who Is The Holy Ghost?
written by Irma Carew Sr. December, 1947 The Holy Ghost fills my spirit. He is my soul. He makes me to see the beauty of the world. He makes me kindly toward all living things. He fills me with the awe of God and God’s works. He endowed me with compassion for every beast. He is the Lord my God, who fills my spirit. Amen. |
In Christ’s Steps
Irma Carew Sr. 1943 The foot prints of Christ are weary And his way is seldom trod How hard to trace the footsteps Set by the Son of God! The pleasures of the world beckon With an arm long and free Down the lanes of broad enchantment Paved with proud vanity But when our poor footsteps falter And our days grow short and dim How many, oh, how many Wish they had followed Him! |
A Prayer of Contrition
Irma Carew Sr. Sept 3, 1943 Once within my heart there glowed A burning love for Thee A completeness of my being My soul felt light and free And when in despair and sorrow With burdened heart and tears I implored Thee for forgiveness You took away my fears Ah that in my selfish pleasures I tore myself away From Thy love and guidance Which I seek from Thee today. Forgive, as Thou hast forgiven Oh Christ, of ages past Thy glory and Thy precious love Let me find at last. |
A Prayer-God of All
Irma Carew Sr. 1940 God of the trees; God of the flowers God of the years; God of the hours God of the great; God of the small God of Heaven, Earth and all; We humbly beseech Thee, we cry and we pray For Thy guiding care through each night and day. The road has been rough and not always we’ve stood In the paths of the righteous, paths of the good Forgive our weakness dear Jesus, our Lord Our trust is in Thee, our gentle sweet Lord. |
Dear Jesus,
Guide me with your wisdom for I don't know what to do. Help me to understand and use my feelings for the peace of the animal kingdoms that I love so much. As you have taught me the art of communication with those in heaven, teach me to heal using my thoughts and feelings so I may send out waves of healing to all the suffering animals so they will be comforted and know they are not alone and someone loves them. Make their suffering swift and their end peaceful. |
