Day 30 | Ascension Sunday - John 16:5-17, Acts 2:1-13, 2 Cor 3:17-18

THE SUSCIPE

Take, Lord, and received all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556

+ THANK YOU FOR THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER +

It is sad to see this retreat come to an end. What a special time it has been with Fr. Mark, St. Ignatius of Loyola and Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being our guide in such a gentle way. How providential, Lord God, that we would end our retreat as our cities begin opening again after the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, God for loving us. Lead us out shining your light more brightly than when we entered.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. 9 T...

Day 8 | BEGINNING THE 2nd WEEK: The Life of Christ and Discipleship Matthew 9:35-36

Matthew 9:35-36 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE) The Compassion of Jesus. 35 Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. 36 At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Reflect on the Trinity and the Incarnation - why did Jesus come?
