and accountable but i also have unstructured times when it s just me and god prayer is not a one size fits all thing it s unique to each person to pray as they feel sometimes it s just a word thrown heavenwards an arrow prayer launched towards god in a moment of desperation or difficulty it s quite simply a conversation with god where you get to say what you want or just sit and listen with the ear of your heart god bless sharon xx you might also like this previous post what is prayer share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on whatsapp opens in new window whatsapp

terraces super comfy bed my window now my desktop image on my pc view from the chair in my room of the upper gardens welcome card flowers on my window sill they smelt divine as promised i thought i d share something of my time at st beuno s a jesuit spirituality centre in north wales i went there at the end of june this year and although it s been on my bucket list for a few years i can t actually remember what finally prompted me to book an individually guided silent retreat one minute i was just browsing their website and the next the retreat was booked and paid for and the train tickets purchased with only two weeks to wait i m not usually known for that level of spontaneity but sometimes the stars just align and you have to go with it as the previous posts explain i was in the middle of a bit of a crisis of denomination which i d been unable to resolve on my own i knew about st beuno s from a three part bbc documentary i d watched back in 2010 the big silence it was later released on dvd but i ve checked and it seems to be currently unavailable so i m sorry but i can t link it for you i bought it a few years ago because i enjoyed the documentary so much certainly worth buying if you ever see a copy i didn t have a set agenda for the retreat other than to just go and be open to whatever came my way i was in such a mess spiritually that i just hoped for a bit of clarity and direction really i ve also found having been on a few retreats before that if you go with a shopping list of things you want to achieve they rarely happen we make plans and god laughs as the saying goes i caught the midday train out of mk with a view to arriving in rhyll just after 3pm i d booked my taxi in advance and like a star he was there waiting for me at the station i finally walked through the huge front door of st b s at 3 45pm super friendly welcome and my room was just gorgeous i d splashed out on an ensuite room as i was only there for the weekend and it was so worth it absolutely immaculate too i was up on the priest s gallery and the view was outstanding i was left to unpack with the promise of coffee downstairs i found my itinerary on the desk in my room i was all set there were a few of us there just for the weekend other longer retreats were happening at the same time and we were each allotted a spiritual guide mine was helen and she was so calm and wise god chose well i worried that entering into the silence would be difficult and i knew i didn t have long to adjust but not at all i literally ran into that silence and embraced it immediately obviously much needed it s made much easier by the gentle ethos of the place and the fact that everyone around you is also being silent i quickly settled into the daily rhythm the gardens and breath taking scenery are also very conducive to contemplation and self discovery it s not boring oppressive or stifling as some might think more welcoming and comforting i had a sense of anticipation because there in the silence sooner or later you find god we met with our guides at least once everyday at a set time i met with helen twice on the last day you re advised to enter into prayer three or more times a day there is eucharist everyday in the main chapel and a smaller chapel for your use with various other rooms set aside for prayer or reflection the gardens are stunning and perfect for prayer and reflection lots of beautiful walks due to the location a large library for your use a fully stocked art room is available for those who enjoy being creative as part of their expression of faith the food was yummy and plenty of it with drinks available all day i was blown away quite frankly and i d return in a heartbeat in fact i plan to do so as soon as i can being a jesuit centre you are introduced to a lot of ignatian spiritual exercises to help you pray meditate centre and focus i also used art scripture and poetry to help me while i was there i d never used images before and it was quite a revelation and very productive i d always actively shied away from using art but i ve no idea why because it was amazing i ve continued using religious pictures since i ve been home with equal sucess i have an affinity with ignatian spirituality and have become a bit of a closet jesuit over the last few years it s a charism that fits well into daily life and can be lived out very successfully in both a secular or monastic setting this book by fr james martin sj was what started my jesuit journey but there is a plethora of information and resources online should you be interested fr martin has also written many other amazing and eminently readable titles which i can t recommend highly enough so the end of the retreat came all too soon and helen and i felt a weekend just wasn t long enough however as i mentioned before she promised to put me in touch with a sister local to me which you may have read about in the previous posts and that meeting proved to be a complete blessing usually when i leave a retreat i find it really difficult to readjust back in to regular life particularly the noise lol however this time i very much brought the peace and stillness with me and i avoided the usual post retreat hangover as i pretty much floated my way through the next few weeks with helen s guidance i had achieved so much in such a short time and was very much back ontrack spiritually speaking things have gone from strength to strength since god s hand was all over the preparations and the success of that weekend the ressurection of this blog is also a testimony to that as i feel i actually have something i want to share and write about again if you ever get the chance to go on a retreat be that religious or otherwise then i d strongly suggest you do it some places offer quiet days which are equally valuable and don t involve quite such a commitment of time or money our lives are so busy and noisy that time alone in silence and stillness can be hugely beneficial to both your spirit and your mental health every blessing sharon xx click on an individual photograph at the top of the post to see it enlarged share this share on facebook opens in

me and god part ii thursday october 11 2018 by sharon we left off yesterday with a new plan for my returning to mass with a view to trying out a new to me local parish where i wouldn t know anyone i think i had forgotten or possibly never appreciated that my faith is between me and god i m not answerable to the church or to a priest just god once i took that onboard going to mass seemed easy and finally felt right so that s exactly what i did just a couple of days after speaking with sr m i plucked up all my courage and went to an early morning weekday mass it was perfect no more mr nagging doubt just me and god that was about six weeks ago and i ve been going regularly ever since i ve also managed a few sundays when family commitments allow and i go to the weekday mass as often as possible which can be up to three times a week and i ve not really looked back back to the original question of why i go to mass at all especially as finding or hearing god there is rare the answer is multi layered superficially i go to mass because the catholic faith expects that of me and it s kind of what i signed up for but we already know that s a flawed and potentially flaky reason at one level and there has to be more driving you than obligation there is also the joy of worshipping alongside like minded folk sharing your faith through group worship is lovely we the people are the church without the faithful there can be no church the church is not just a building or a priest as the bible states in romans 12 5 we are one body in christ i love the physical and spiritual beauty of the catholic mass the rise and fall of the faithful the bells and smells the joyful message of the psalms especially and the comforting repetition as the liturgical year rolls round reliably and predictably i am a girl of routine so for me anyway this is all a plus also given the choice between a swanky new auditorium or an older atmospheric church with stained glass windows etc i m going to choose the latter every single time it just does it for me on a deeper level it s probably unfair to say that i rarely if ever find god in the mass it s truer to say that i don t hear him so clearly there it s busy with all that standing sitting and kneeling lol however i often get echoes of previous encounters through the gospel or the psalms i hear a familiar piece of scripture and i m instantly transported back to a time when god placed that scripture on my heart during a time of struggle or in response to prayer for example i cannot hear the start of psalm 138 hebr ps 139 o lord you search me and you know me you know my resting and my rising without breaking into a smile because that was the psalm i studied at st beuno s more of that next time as promised and that message comes back to me afresh each time the homily sermon occasionally gives up gems that feel like they re meant just for me not so much during weekday mass as the whole service is shorter and devoid of music or hymns but sundays are longer and more time made available for the priest to share his thoughts on the scripture of the day or a relevant issue you can be in mass and just feel wrapped in a warm presence of love and comfort surely that must come from god going to mass is also an act of fidelity an act of faith it s part of your relationship with a god you love and who loves you a bit like a marriage i never show up and find that god is late or awol he is always there waiting for me it s a two way thing i think people sometimes assume that we do all the work and get nothing back nothing in return but i have never found it to be that way the more time i spend with god the more he does in me and through me we ve come a really long way god and i he has transformed me into someone i actually quite like sunday mass is officially the start of the week for catholics a place to renew and refuel for the week ahead and hopefully you take god with you when you leave faith is not just for one hour on a sunday morning it s really the other six days and twenty three hours that are the most important otherwise what s the point finally there is receiving the eucharist the thing that gave me the most angst and heartache in the beginning and for so many years well what can i say it s a simple process with the most complex meaning it comes from the last supper and we get to share that meal with christ every time we go to mass it calms renews and sustains me it s probably the thing i missed the most in other denominations it s the thing that draws me back because i can t find that anywhere else it s the culmination of mass we show up and so does christ perfect to wrap this up if you re looking for a place to worship and you ve no idea where to start then start with prayer and an open heart think about practicalities too can you get there easily do the worship times suit your availability don t set yourself up to fail by choosing a church that you have to drive forty miles to or take three buses cos chances are you ll always find a reason not to go if you re surrounded by a young family then look for somewhere that caters and welcomes little ones is there a crèche facility and a sunday school is there a messy church being run near you if you go a couple of times and think it s not a good fit then try somewhere else however remember above everything else it s just between you and god and he loves you he isn t really at church at all he s there in your heart always sharon xx share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on whatsapp

leave a comment it s just between me and god part i wednesday october 10 2018 by sharon so following on from yesterday s post about church and possible reasons why people do or don t attend i thought today i d write a little about my relationship with church and how that has changed over the years yesterday s post might make some people wonder why i go to mass church at all if i rarely find or hear god there so i thought an explanation was in order naively i always thought that people of faith just went to church and that was that easy they might attend a church they always went to with their family or they might find a new one if they moved but either way it seemed pretty clear and straightforward hmmm lol the reality turned out to be a little more tricky than that to recap i received my calling in june of 2006 i didn t live in mk then i lived out near banbury in a little village called sulgrave for three years after my calling i remained purposely non denominational partly because i was unsure what the next step was and partly because in the may of 2007 i moved to mk once here i tried lots of churches and denominations on for size i d mostly worshipped in anglican pointy spire churches as a teen and in my twenties which encouraged me to give that a go here i also tried the quakers the charismatic evang...
