Twinsburg Holy Spirit Prayer meeting March 17
Small turnout at the prayer meeting I think because of bad weather and St Patrick Day about 9 or ten of us .
The prayer group even when small in numbers , when led by the Holy Spirit is very powerful.
We had worship and praise most everyone shared. .Jack shared about his experiences with street witnessing which were amazing .He had prayed before hand for words of knowledge and he had received specific characteristics of hair styles such as braids and a picture of a lamb . When he get on the street a little girl with braids came by holding a stuffed lamb and they had a great prayer with her and Mom which brought others gathering to pray . Denise mentioned highlights from Ss Cosmas and Damian mission including how Jesus calmed the storm and those that were in the boat that was praying saw Jesus .
I mentioned that I had played for Father Stallas Mission . His mission At St Anthony’s in Fairport Harbor was called giving the Holy Spirit the Reigns and had a session on Hearing Gods Voice . I sang my song he wants to talk to you

Michelle had a word that we are prepared for times such as these .
Marie had a word from the Lord . She had written down the beatitudes as a word from the Lord and I sang a song this is the Kingdom a song that exactly uses the words from the Sermon on the Mount .
I sang some Irish songs like Shout to the North which was written during the divisions in Ireland and Build Your Kingdom Here by Irish band Rend Collective .
I also sang a reflection I wrote about St Joseph since St Joseph feast two days after St Patrick’s

We also read a prayer attributed to St Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, throughThe strength of heaven,The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,The splendor of fire,The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
I arise today, through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
[Note that people sometimes pray a shorter version of this prayer just with these 15 lines about Christ above. The conclusion follows below.]
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
