WEEK TWENTY ONE: THE ASCENSION AND PENTECOST - DAY 3


 WEEK TWENTY ONE: THE ASCENSION AND PENTECOST - DAY 3

MORNING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD:
Begin with Prayer to the Holy Spirit
 
REPETITION OF DAYS ONE AND TWO:
Ask for the grace to be glad and rejoice intensely because of the great joy and the glory of Christ our Lord (#221)

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.

What is God saying to you?  There are no easy answers in life, no magic wand that makes things go away. The only truth one can rely upon is the Truth of My Word.  My Son died for your sins and those of humanity.  In this understanding of our own human weaknesses, it is in listening and developing Our relationship daily.  Sin can not be present when I am present.  The question: What am I saying to you? is an important question on daily discipleship.  My Apostles learned this as we sat together in person, sometimes nothing was said but they knew what I was thinking.  Be at peace with all these situations, trust in My Divine will and point others to the cross and My Son, this is the answer all are seeking.  Sin can never be justified otherwise Jesus died in vain.  Look to the cross, with an open heart.  

Dear Father, Thank You for the grace to sit in Your presence, to recognize my own human weaknesses and to rely upon You for the spiritual guidance that is needed.  Prayers for friends walking alone, not taking time to sit and listen.  Prayers for a successful ladies conference in Victoria tomorrow, give them a heart to listen and respond.  Thank you for the bountiful rain this afternoon.  In Jesus name, Amen.  

Mary, Most Pure, Pray for us. 
St Joesph, Model of Workers, Pray for us. 
Viva Cristo Rey. 






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