A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb
the Bridegroom of the soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on
my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be
as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the
soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come
and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

I

Every meditation will be
preceded by a preparatory
Prayer.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,

SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
no decision is made under the influence of any
inordinate attachment
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.

PRAYER. In the preparatory
prayer I will beg God
our Lord for grace that all my intentions, actions,
and operations may be directed purely to the
praise and serve of His Divine Majesty.

Prayer for Union with Jesus
From
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p. 102
TAKE, LORD, AND RECEIVE
Take,
Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory,
my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have
and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O
Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly
according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy
grace, for this is sufficient for me.
Meditate
for 10 minutes how the
Incarnation
goes on in us.
From
Newsletter May-June 1997
Each of us has the privilege of offering Jesus his or her own unique person,
one's own humanity, one's own human existence. As with
St. Paul
we are asked to allow Jesus to live within us. Each Christian has the
opportunity to allow Jesus to live through the uniqueness which is this
particular Christian. To the extent the Christian does offer himself to Jesus
in this manner, to that extent Jesus has a unique opportunity of continuing
His redemptive work. To the extent the Christian holds back and does not allow
Jesus to live in oneself, to that degree Jesus loses this unrepeatable
opportunity.
