Week 2, Day 3 of Mold me.



Please read #24-26 from The Spiritual Exercises first, ask for the grace to commit seriously to this spiritual practice:

(24)

Daily Particular Examination of Conscience

There are three different times of the day and two examinations involved in this practice

First, in the morning, immediately on rising, one should resolve to guard carefully against the particular sin or defect with regard to which he seeks to correct or improve himself.

(025)

Secondly, after dinner, he should ask God our Lord for the grace he desires, that is, to recall how often he has fallen into the particular sin or defect, and to avoid it for the future.

Then follows the first examination. He should demand an account of himself with regard to the particular point which he has resolved to watch in order to correct himself and improve. Let him go over the single hours or periods from the time he arose to the hour and moment of the present examination, and in the first line of the figure given below, make a mark for each time that he has fallen into the particular sin or defect. Then he is to renew his resolution, and strive to amend during the time till the second examination is to be made.

(026)

Thirdly, after supper, he should make a second examination, going over as before each single hour, commencing with the first examination, and going up to the present one. In the second line of the figure given below, let him make a mark for each time he has fallen into the particular fault or sin.


Beginning your day by asking God for the grace to help with a particular area of your life that He is  seeking to address, whether it be gossip, foul language, judgement of others, character attacks, and then spending time examining yourself at specific times after daily meals will bring about a change and also clarity of self.  In these moments of playing back the tape, you will see the areas that need addressed.  Work on them one at a time with God's grace.  

What is God saying to me: Ask for the Grace.

Hail MaryFull of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit 

Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.  
St Joesph, Mirror of Patience, Pray for us. 
Viva Christo Rey





Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
