 Notes:

Four pillars for a Christian Spirituality (nonnegotiables) taken from The Holy Longing

  1. Personal prayer and private morality – a relationship with Jesus through prayer

  2. Commitment to social justice

  3. Cultivating a grateful and generous heart – mellowness of heart and spirit

  4. Belonging to a worshipping community  - “We are many parts but all one body” 1 Corinthians 12:12

Sessions 3: Do we need the Spirit?

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

O Holy Spirit, beloved of
my soul, I adore You. e, guide me,
strengthen me, console me.

Tell me what I should do;
give me Your orders.

I promise to submit myself

and to accept all that You
permit to happen to me.

Let me only know Your Will.
