WEEK EIGHT: MIRACLES, SIGNS OF THE KINGDOM DAY 3
"MORNING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD:
Begin with Prayer to the Holy Spirit
REPETITION OF DAYS ONE AND TWO
Ask for an intimate knowledge of our Lord, who has become man for me, that I may love Him more and follow Him more closely (#104)
Today, you are doing a Repetition of Days One and Two of this week. In a repetition, St. Ignatius says that "we should pay attention to and dwell upon those points in which we have experienced greater consolation or desolation or greater spiritual appreciation" (# 62). If you wish, you can do a triple colloquy: refer to #63 of the Third Exercise of the First Week."

I spent time this morning experiencing the love of God in my heart as I walked with the demonic man and the paralytic man after they received the gift of grace. Their world was transformed from being under the influence of the evil one to being set free to witness to love. Our actions each day speak of this grace, you will know when Christ has transformed your life, there will be no head knowledge when this happens, it will be all heart knowledge. A love that transforms your life and those that are around you.
What is God saying to me: "Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners."" Matthew 9:13
Dear Father, I thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life, I thank You for life lessons in daily events and the opportunity to put into practice what I read. Please forgive me when I fall short and become critical and judge mental of others, who don't think the way that I think. I ask for prayers for a friend struggling with depression, I thank You for answered prayers for another with a weak heart, You make all things new again, You know her story and the mercy that they have demonstrated with their lives. Bless this day Father, give us the gift of Your Holy Spirit each and every day of our lives as we travel towards eternity, may it be with You and no other. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, Pray for us
St Joesph, Head of the Holy Family, Pray for us.

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