Download or read book Sweet Sweet Spirit written by Joseph A. Brown and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The call to engage the laity in the prayer life of the church underlies Sweet, Sweet Spirit. The old should bless the young. The adults should offer protection to the old and the young. The very young should practice their faith in the presence of their elders. And the church should shout, 'Amen.'" —from the Introduction Communal prayer in the Black Catholic tradition has been one of the most creative developments in the last half-century of liturgical development. This collection of prayer services from the Black Catholic church holds a few examples of how the Black Catholic community has been working on building the stones of our journey (Joshua 4:19-14), stones built on the lives of our ancestors of faith, the songs of our brothers and sisters, the dances of our most ancient kin and the sounds of the drums that guided them. Authors Brown and Cheri composed prayer services that allow for "emotional, effective, dramatic, soulful performance in worship." The prayer services provide inspiration to evangelize and are ecumenical. Sweet, Sweet Spirit features: • Libation rituals • Prayer services for gathering, blessing the home, Black History Month, presentation in the Temple, reconciliation, Good Friday, Thea Bowman, women, men's day, youth retreat, funerals and dedications • Litany of the saints • General intercessions • Anointing for evangelization

Book excerpt: Never forget, we are sacred beings. We all seek power. We all want happiness. There is no shame or blame in serving our own highest good first and in recognizing that the highest good functions best when it is in healthy and balanced relationship with the Creator. Spirit Talk speaks to us of the first gifts of life and breath bequeathed to us from the Creator. These gifts, life and breath, upon our beautiful Mother Earth and Father Sky-Sun, guide and inform the reader's life and breath through a twelve-month calendar cycle. Keen observation of the calendar and seasonal cycles guides the reader through the highest of creative intelligence cycles--those of the ancient, earth-based Medicine Wheel Teachings. These wisdom cycles inform, anchor, and empower core creative principles of connected love, balance, and harmony. A balanced and harmonious relationship with the Creator serves to put an end to painful perceptions of separation with the self and, most importantly, the Creator. The dedication of time and the making of seasonally focused spirit talks with the Medicine Wheel will inform and foster an environment of shared respect and connection with oneself and with all living things. We no longer sit alone but are alive and active in a living world. The old people say, "It's not whether you will do it, but whether you will remember to do it." Spirit Talk helps us to remember and to do in a good way.
