The Bridge
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
In life we come about many people who are different to our selfs, many situations that are often challenging, do we adopt an inclusive or exclusive out look? Holding onto ones beliefs or view points so tightly may often feel right but at what cost? Does it enable us to live a life of blackened hearts? How we move forwards in a world of so many conflicting attitudes is crucial to how we can get to the point of living the truth of ‘Love Thy neighbour’, whilst holding onto our own personal ways of life. So next time a challenging situation is presented it can be so much more fruitful to ask the question ‘How can I find the bridge to a better way?’
This is a very meditative, thoughtful & prayerful release. It also lends it self well to a headphone listen which can enable you to go deeper into the experience. Light a candle, turn the lights down & say or write down your own personal prayer can also help you to focus your mind before you begin the meditation to.
All thanks to God & to everyone who has been part of my journey!
Thank you for listening!
Fly high & fly free, Edgar 2019.

COME HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR BLEST
Come Holy Spirit, Creator Blest!
And in our souls take up Your rest;
Come, with Your grace and heavenly aid,
To fill our hearts which You have made.
O Comforter, to You do we cry;
O heavenly Gift of God Most High;
O Fount of life and Fire of love;
And sweet Anointing from above!
You in Your sevenfold Gifts are known;
You, Finger of Gods hand, we own;
You, Promise of the Father, You,
Who do the tongue with power imbue.
Kindle our senses from above
And make our hearts overflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Your true peace instead;
So shall we not, with you for Guide,
Turn from life aside.
Oh, may Your grace on us bestow
The Father and the Son to know;
And you, through endless times confessed,
Of Both the eternal Spirit blest.
Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
With you, O holy Comforter,
Henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.
(Traditional Novena taken from ‘Pocket book of Catholic Novenas’ St. Joseph Edition.)
STAR LIGHT
Light,
Light,
Light,
Light,
Star light shining bright,
In your love tonight.
–
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
–
Star light shining bright,
In your love tonight.
ON LOVE/CORINTHIANS 1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect, and our prophecy is imperfect, but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
So faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
(Reading taken from the R.S.V. Bible)
