Retreat Day Six: Love

6/19/2020

2 Comments

 
Listen to "Retreat Day Six: Love" on Spreaker.

Opening Prayer

Dear Jesus, 
         Help me to spread Your fragrance wherever I go.
         Flood my soul with Your Spirit and Life.  Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, that my life may only be a radiance of Yours.
        Shine through me,  and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. 
        Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!  Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
        The light, O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be mine.  It will be you, shining on others through me.
        Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Amen.

Closing Prayer

 My most humble Jesus, who for love of me humbled yourself and become obedient unto the death on the Cross, how dare I appear before you and call myself your follower when I see myself so proud that I cannot bear a single slight without resenting it! How, indeed, can I be proud, when by my sins I have so often deserved to be cast into the abyss.
         O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, help me and make me like unto you. You, for love of me, bore so many insults and injuries. I, for love of you, will bear slights and humiliations patiently. But you see, O Jesus, how proud I am in my thoughts, how disdainful in my words, how ambitious in my deeds.
​         Grant me true humility of heart and a clear knowledge of my own nothingness. May I, for love of you, rejoice at being despised and feel no resentment when others are preferred before me. Let me not be filled with pride when I am praised, but seek only to be great in your sight and to please you in all things.
Amen.

One Question and a Resolution

1.     Remember an experience when someone truly listened to you.  Did that experience change the way you listen to others?  Why or why not?
2.     Resolve to listen to people and give honest and loving feedback when asked.

​Two Questions and a Resolution

1.    Remember a time when you were paralyzed by a decision or choice, how did you overcome these obstacles to make a decision?  How would you have done it differently if you could?
2.     How do you put your faith into action?
3.     Resolve to do something that you are not very good at and in that struggle ask Jesus for humility, strength, and faith.

Two Questions and a Resolution

1.     When was the last time you celebrated the sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation?  Do you have a regular devotion to Confession/Reconciliation?  What are some of the obstacles for you in celebrating Confession/Reconciliation regularly?
2.     Do you keep the Friday fast?  Why or Why not?
3.     Resolve this week to fast from a material good (going out for a meal, buying a coffee, getting something for yourself that is not essential....) and giving that money (that would have been used for the material good) away
