STATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT — A Pilgrim’s Prayer Manual
STATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT– A Pilgrim’s Prayer Manual is the title of the new prayer which I have composed, developed and formulated to add on the reach deposit of Catholic Spirituality. It is a new prayer comprising of 18 stations to be prayed in a manner that arouses a profound invocation of the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit in the lives of individual persons and Christian communities–hence leading to a great witness in our time. I have packaged these stations in a single prayer book which will be released online via Kindle and paperback (Amazon platforms worldwide) on Easter Sunday the 31st of March 2024. This, first of its kind book, delves into a detailed biblical, theological, and practical reflection about the gifts and fruits of the Spirit bundled together in 18 stations. It is a new kind of prayer because it has never existed before in the history of the Roman Catholic Church and its sister churches. This is going to be its first time to feature in the Church. Stations of the Holy Spirit will be prayed by the faithful at any time and season of the year, in a manner related, though not the same as, to that of stations of the cross.
This book is already approved and endorsed by the relevant Church authority. I therefore, offer it as my Easter gift to the Catholic Church and the entire people of God worldwide. In some countries, this book will be distributed and given out to the faithful for free while in other countries it will attract a small payment. In many countries where obtaining it from online sources is complicated, the book will be printed out and distributed in hard copies some weeks after Easter. I have written the original manuscript of this book in English. However, it will soon be translated into other languages. As an author of this book, I have given open permission to any one who would wish to photocopy or translate and distribute this book in any way to do so, as long as the author is acknowledged and its originality is maintained. Anyone is free to photocopy or translate it into another language and distribute without seeking prior permission from the author. The only condition to be fulfilled is maintaining its originality. Altering its originality in any way is a criminal offence and may attract a criminal penalty. Enjoy the read once it is released.
