Intercession and Praise

Notes of meeting on 27 April 2010

Picture of Jesus as Good Shepherd with the sheep far away from him.
From his exposed heart emanate notes of music that express that he loves them and invites them to draw close to his heart.

Ann Liddell shared with us on how we can move forward in intercessory praise.
To begin we should place our own needs (our hurts, difficulties, worries, sufferings) on the altar to enable our heart, mind, body, soul and spirit to focus on God the Father.
As we become focused on God the Father we can "come to our senses" that is become alert to our senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell. We use our voices and whole body to enter into and push through with our praise of the Father.
As we continue in praise we may experience God showing us perhaps by a word, a vision or picture, or an awareness in our mind or heart of where our praise is being directed.


Picture of Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary and many good priests joyfully moving towards them. There are also some priests in the shadows and in the darkness who are being drawn and healed by the light from the two hearts and by the witness of the good priests.

The word of God carries out what it intends to – similarly our praise carries out what God intends of it.
