Opening Prayer: Lord, enfold me in the depths of your heart;
and there hold me, refine, purge, and set me on fire, raise me aloft, until my
own self knows utter annihilation. ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Scripture: John 17:20-26
Journal: What captures you most about Jesus’ prayer for
you? What is your sense of union with
God these days? How would you describe
your intimacy level with him? What might
help move that to deeper places?
Reflection:
God dwells within you. You are yourself the tabernacle, his secret hiding
place. Rejoice, exult, for all you could
possibly desire, all your heart’s longing is so close, so intimate as to be
within you; you cannot be without him. ~John of the Cross
Some people live for God,
some people live with God, and some people live in God. (Thoughts in
Solitude by Thomas Merton
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, help us to never settle living for
you, or even with you, when you desire us to live in you. Amen.
