Opening Prayer: Here, Lord, I abandon myself to you. I have tried in every way I could think of to
manage myself, and to make myself what I know I ought to be, but have always
failed. Now I give it up to you. Do take entire possession of me. Work in me all the good pleasure of your
will. Mold and fashion me into such a
vessel as seems good to you. I leave
myself in your hands. Amen. (The
Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whitall Smith)
Scripture: John 13:1-15
Journal: Do you understand what I have done for you?
Reflection:
There are questions, lots of questions. And it is good to live in the question. A pat answer is closed, it is finished;
that’s it. It goes nowhere and leaves
little room for hope. A question, the
mystery, opens the space for us. It is
full of possibility. It gives hope of
life and even more abundant life. Our
faith, solid as it might be is full of questions. And therefore full of life and hope. (Living
in the Question by M. Basil Pennington)
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Take, Lord, and receive all that I am and
have. You’ve given it all to me; I give
it all back to you. Do with me as you
want. Just give me your love and your
grace and that’s enough. ~St. Ignatius
