Revelation 22: 1-2
Then the angel showed me the river of life,
rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal–clear. Down
the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees
of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month,
and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.
1 Corinthians 3: 9-12, 16-17
After all, we do share in God’s work; you are
God’s farm, God’s building.
By the grace of God which was given
to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master–builder, and someone else
is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the building. For
nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already,
namely Jesus Christ. On this foundation, different people may build
in gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw.
Do you not realise that you are a temple of God
with the Spirit of God living in you? If anybody should destroy the
temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy; and
you are that temple.

Prayer
before talk
Dear Jesus,
I want to
be close to you. I want to have that
oneness with you that is so
deep. I want to act
as You act in me at every
second. I want to do
Your holy will I want to be
one in You in my
every breath.
I give
myself to You. I give You the Movement
and the people -- it is Your
Movement to run as You
desire. I give you the
building and the people
who come and go. Help us to do
as you desire
always, always maintaining the
purity of the
Movement. Help the Church to
recognize us
and help us to begin prayer
chapters all
over the world. Help us to
reach the priests
with the writings you have
given. Help people
to recognize Mary's image.

I want to talk about the Spiritual Exercises
of St. Ignatius.
We are to see this retreat as a time to be alone
with God. To be in silence, to be only with Him,
to see His plan for us in helping to bring about
what He wants to do in us as we live out our
vocation. Here it is to live the Shepherds of
Christ way of life.
Our life is lived every moment in union
with our Divine God. We center our day daily
around the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass.
We,
who are servants, handmaids and apostles attend
daily Mass when able and center our day around
that Mass, united to all the Masses going on around
the world all day, being special intercessors
praying for the priests, the Church and the world.
We spend, as servants, handmaids and apostles,
at least one hour daily before the Blessed Sacrament
in adoration as far as we are able and we try to stop
on the hour and pray, especially united for the needs
of the Movement and our needs.
We pray nightly (or at least daily) the Shepherds of
Christ Prayers and the rosary, along with the Holy
Spirit Novena. Most of us try to pray daily at
6:20
united at all the centers and the sub-centers
for the priests, the Church, and the world, for healing
for ourselves, our family and all mentioned above
and for special grace for us.
Why do we make this particular retreat in
China, Indiana? When retreats are given the
silence will begin on the 10th of that month at
night with the individual reading the discernment of
spirit sections from St. Ignatius Spiritual Exercises
and the beginning parts about the retreat.
The first meditation will be given on the 10th.
The
Spiritual Exercises will be conducted with
this purpose in mind.
