THE EUROPEAN CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC RENEWAL INFO-LETTER (Euccril)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Prayercampain 

Last week the chairman of the European ICCRS-Sub Committee, Nikol Baldacchino, had the opportunity to meet with two other members: Charles Whitehead and Kees Slijkerman. Nikol and Charles were both in the Netherlands to speak in a Discipleship Training School of Kerygma-Teams and in conferences of the Dutch Renewal. So the Lord gave us an extra opportunity to meet in a small committee.
In this small committee we decided to foster the prayer for Europe, for our Gathering in Czestochowa and for Gods plan behind this Gathering. We discussed the situation of Europe: the dark sides and the Light.

PREPARE THE WAY
We can prepare the way of the Lord for Europe by confessing the historical sins of Europe. We will do this during our Gathering in Poland and our pilgrimage to Auschwitz and Krakow-Lagiewniki. But we can start with it now.

Let us pray together from now on with words like this: 

Lord we confess, 
the sins of our continent, 
the wars between people, 
divisions in your Church.
We ask you forgiveness,
we ask for your Spirit
make us bridge-builders 
give Europe new life.

We ask you to pray this and to translate and publish this prayer. Please invite also other people to pray this and to think about coming to Chestochowa, September 24 - 29 th, 2002.
