I am a member of the Iona Prayer Circle, which means that I have made the commitment to pray at least once a week for about twenty people. Every three months I receive the names, accompanied by a brief description and updates, of those in my prayer section. We are asked to pray in our own particular way at least once a week for these people and it is suggested that we pray on Tuesday evening at 9 PM (wherever we are) because that is the time that the Prayer Circle names are lifted up at the Service of Healing at the abbey on Iona.
I do my best to make this commitment part of my morning prayer time. Routine helps me. I keep the Iona Prayer Circle list in my prayer book and start with the Iona Worship Prayer.
Spirit of the living God present with us now,
Enter you, body, mind and spirit,
And heal you of all that harms you,
In Jesus’ name, Amen
(In my next post I’ll share some more about this awesome experience.)
