ARD CHIARAIN PRAYER CENTRE

Lenten Prayer each Mon 7.30 – 8.30pm.  All welcome

“Where 2 or 3 meet in my name I shall be there with them”

Eusebius, a 3rd century church father, offered the following prayer as instruction for his fellow Christians, especially during Lent.

"May I be no man's enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is eternal and abides. May I never quarrel with those nearest me: and if I do, may I be reconciled quickly. May I love, seek, and attain only that which is good. May I wish for all men's happiness and envy none. May I never rejoice in the ill-fortune of one who has wronged me. When I have done or said what is wrong, may I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make amends. May I win no victory that harms either me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are angry with one another. May I never fail a friend who is in danger. When visiting those in grief may I be able by gentle and healing words to soften their pain. May I respect myself. May I always keep tame that which rages within me. May I accustom myself to be gentle, and never be angry with people because of circumstances. May I never discuss who is wicked and what wicked things he has done, but know good men and women  & follow in their footsteps."
