Journey with Mary

From the Ascension to Pentecost we pray, with Mary, for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. An introduction to how we can pray 'Thy Kingdom Come'.

On the Feast of the Ascension, we listen to the call to share our faith. We pray with Mary for Christians to have the confidence to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

On the Friday after the Ascension, we pray with Mary to know God better and offer up those who have lost sight of God, that they would see His love revealed in their lives.

On the first Saturday after the Ascension, we pray with Mary for the strength to trust in Jesus. We pray for those who feel isolated and alone, that they will develop meaningful relationships through a childlike trust in God.

On the Sunday after the Ascension, we pray with Mary for forgiveness - particularly for those in need of God's mercy.

On Monday we pray with Mary for openness - particularly for the hearts of those we know and love to be more open to Christ who waits to be invited in.

On Tuesday we pray with Mary for those who are beginning to show an interest in matters of faith, that their curiosity will grow into a desire for the living God.

On Wednesday we pray with Mary for those who seek God, that their search may lead them to find their heart's desire.

On Thursday we pray with Mary for us all to encounter the person of Jesus Christ and experience life lived to the full.

On Friday we pray with Mary for those who are held down by past experiences, hurt or pain, that they may know the freedom that Christ brings when we follow him.

On Saturday we pray with Mary for those who want to grow in faith, that we may all be filled with the hope of what is to come.

On Pentecost Sunday we pray with Mary 'Thy Kingdom Come', praying for the whole Church to be filled with the Holy Spirit 'as by a new Pentecost'.
