WEEK NINE: MIRACLES, SIGNS OF THE KINGDOM DAY 7
"MORNING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD:
Begin with Prayer to the Holy Spirit
REPETITION OF DAYS FOUR, FIVE AND SIX:
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 Four, Five, and Six 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."
Jesus reveals His divinity in the three miracles of this week but He also reveals our own participation in them. The desire to be healed, the seeking of God and our own faith being put into action. We play an active role in our salvation and it is an ongoing process as long as we have breath in our lungs. "Stand up and go, your Faith has saved you", "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
What is God saying to you? Simple daily actions leads to an eternity of love, your faith will save you.

Hebrews 11:1 Your faith, in action, continually saves us. Salvation is a mutual relationship between God and you, yes it is God who provides the evidence in our lives but it also requires our own conviction to live a life of Faith.
What is God saying to you? Simple daily actions leads to an eternity of love, your faith will save you.
Dear Lord God, it is the simple gestures of being drawn to You, responding to Your call and being attentive to Your will that brings about conviction, an undeniable love of Your truth. I am blessed this morning to have this desire and to act upon it to be in Your presence. May my day be a revealing of who You are to me, may my faith be demonstrated in actions. Prayers for a friend going in for a scan this morning, she demonstrates her faith, may the miracle of Jesus be upon her. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Hope of the Sick, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey.
