Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Yes, Father!
Yes! And always Yes!
~Francis
de Sales
Scripture Reading for the Day: 2 Corinthians 1:12-22
Reading for Reflection:
Saying yes to Love works,
but not in the way we might expect. It
is the working of love, not of efficiency.
It involves intention but not success or failure. It invites dedicated practice, but not
achievement or competence. It is a
conscious choice toward openness instead of control. Saying yes to Love is not a method for
breaking the chains of addiction or solving our problems, but a response to the
essential goodness of Love itself. It
comes not from our desire to get away from something bad, but from our desire
to welcome Something Wonderful. It is
opening our hearts to a Gift already given.
(The Awakened Heart by Gerald G. May)

Closing Prayer: Lord of all, you are a God of plenty, a Lord
who provides for us in our need. As I begin
these early days of Advent help me to believe that you know what I need. Give me the courage to listen to your voice
and the freedom to open my heart to the graces you are offering me to place my
trust in you. (Creighton University Online Ministries)
