http://patmarsh.blogspot.com/2014/08/encounters-with-jesus.html
Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Wednesday, 6 August 2014. Many people did indeed encounter Jesus on two recent retreats in the beautiful prayer-soaked setting of Penhurst Retreat Centre. Firstly, a group of people met to experience. Through imaginative contemplation with the scriptures. And secondly, a group of very creative people (creative in the areas of music, writing, art and drama) met to inspire each other and meet with Jesus through. The book re...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page: Spirit's Flow
http://patmarsh.blogspot.com/2015/04/spirits-flow.html
Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Thursday, 23 April 2015. When we're open to the flow of the Spirit in our lives, truly remarkable things can happen: in brief, exciting moments the possibility of the Kingdom of God as a living, breathing reality can be glimpsed. It's so hard to be open to that though, isn't it, and the presence of the Spirit can feel very elusive sometimes. On a country walk yesterday, I came across a little waterfall that was choked wit...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Sunday, 19 October 2014. When asked for a title for a healing retreat, almost a year in advance, I chose the phrase 'Undeserved Grace'. Because it seems to me that that's what healing, forgiveness and all the gifts of God are - pure, undeserved grace. And please pray for that group. As they continue their generous creative ministry. Mary with some of her artwork at the CRE. Please pray for Mary and her husband Mark. As au...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Tuesday, 2 July 2013. To all who underpinned my recent event with prayer. It was a pleasure to lead another Touching the Cloak day - this time for the folks at Holy Trinity, Meir. And, on a Saturday in June, a little corner of Stoke-on-Trent became a 'thin place'. Deep healing flowed in the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit. As well as drawing on Fr. Martin's extensive experience of this practice, we explored, with...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Monday, 12 May 2014. It shouldn't surprise me, but do you know . it always does. I'm talking about the way God has a habit of bringing across our path exactly the people we need to meet, at exactly the right time! A recent conference impacted me more than I could ever have imagined it would, and those unexpected encounters were a large part of that. There's a lesson for all of us in that! On the personal front, the pressu...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Saturday, 24 August 2013. A time to write. Don't you just hate the way that Christmas hits the shops in September? I certainly do. But this August Bank Holiday weekend found me preparing for Christmas! Crazy, I know - but there was a reason. I am about to 'go to ground' in order to concentrate on some writing, so I don't anticipate being around very much between now and Christmas. Hence, I must get organised! Mainly heali...

Pat Marsh's Prayer Support Page. News from the Christian Writer and Retreat Leader. Friday, 7 June 2013. What else are we not seeing? You may or may not have heard this story, about a family who went on holiday to a remote place:. A young boy in the family, mesmerized by the night sky, asked, "Daddy, why don't we have stars like this at home? That story, quoted in Macrina Weiderkehr's. Lovely book, Abide. Two very different experiences. One very important connection. I wonder what else we're missing?
