WEEK SIXTEEN: IN THE UPPER ROOM DAY 7
MORNING PRAYER: Act of Faith; Act of Hope; Act of Charity; Daily Offering
MORNING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD:
Begin with Prayer to the Holy Spirit
APPLICATION OF THE SENSES: #121-12 Apply your senses to those points in the two repetitions where you experienced consolation or desolation, or greater spiritual appreciation. Ask for sorrow with Christ in sorrow, anguish with Christ in anguish, tears and deep grief because of the great affliction Christ endures for me (#203).
#121 tells us that this method of prayer "will consist in applying the five senses to the matter" at hand.
#122 asks you to see in imagination the persons, contemplating in detail their circumstances and then drawing some fruit from what has been seen.
#123 asks you to hear what they are saying or might say, and by reflecting on oneself to draw some profit.
#124 asks you to smell the infinite fragrance, and taste the infinite sweetness of the divinity present in the mystery being contemplated.
#125 asks you to apply the sense of touch, for example, by embracing and kissing the place where the persons stand or are seated.
#126 asks you to end with a colloquy.

What is God saying to you? It is part of the journey, accept it.
Prayer by Blessed Charles De Foucauld
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures - I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
Blessed Charles de Foucauld
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey 
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
