WEEK NINE: 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."
We hear about the miracles of healing of these two, we get to see the beginning of their journey with Christ. We don't get to hear about how they followed Christ. We don't get to here about their joys and pains as they move thru life, all we know is that they could see with clarity, there was Peace in their heart. After you have encountered Jesus, He will always be there, in your heart, He transforms your world.
What is God saying to you? The encounter is only the beginning, and the transformation never ends until we are together again. This desire is a holy desire.
Dear Father, I thank You for the journey with all of its turns and bumps. I thank You for the desire within that keeps me pushing forward. I praise You as my King and Savior, continue on Lord till victory is ours. Prayers for a holy morning, prayers for ardent disciples who are obedient to Your will. Prayers for clarity in the path forward beyond tomorrow. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Holy Church, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
