Retreats

God Willing I will be visiting the Daughters of Saint Paul in Boston for vows on June 15. Thinking about the sisters makes me feel happy and calm inside!!! I feel God wants to me serve him where I found his love. When I was first there for Holy Week I opened up to him, was honest and felt Gods Love in my heart. After the retreat I felt calmer that I did before the retreat. Jesus worked in my soul!!!!

Throughout the past few weeks while reading Holy darling I have learned that we become closer to Christ through our struggles. Before learning this my vocation was stiffled by me being frustrated and upset about my struggles and thinking that Jesus was not helping me through them. But because I was struggling so much I prayed for forgiveness and peace. I am slowly become patient with Gods Will. Everything is in his time and I have to honestly and firmly engrain that into my heart!!!


At end of June I was be traveling to The Sisters of St. Benedict in Indiana for a week of reflection and to deepen my prayer life!!!! I feel God is calling me to visit this order in order to learn to be patient! and to reflect more upon his will!!!

Patience

Sometimes Its hard to be patient in a fast paced world. When we sit and be calm and wait for the Lord's will to unfold I think that is worth the wait. I AM SLOWLY LEARNING TO BE PATIENT!!!!

My history professor my sophmore year gave me this quoute and I think it seems fitting right now


P:S Lianna inspired me to write this tonight!!
To Fly is Heavenly but to Hover Divine!!!

Depending on Gods Love!!!!

"Be Gentle with yourself and on Gods love". For a while I have not fully understood that statement. While I was on my retreat Sister Meg recommended I read a book called The Fearless Trust of St. Therese of Lisieux Holy Darling. The books talks about how Therese went before the Lord with honestly and openness (Parrhesia). Well, I have been reading and reflecting upon the book. I have not been fully honest and open with the Lord. On my retreat I started to tap into opening myself up to the Lord. I have struggles a lot with some specific sins but I have not realized that through all of my struggles I have become closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. The book states that, "She did not let her defects cause discouragement but learned to love them for the way they kept her dependent, with the greatest immediacy, moment by moment upon Gods Grace". My weaknesses help me as a person to depend on the lord on a deeper level that ever before. I am slowly learning to be gentle with myself because Jesus is Gentle on ME!!!

Lord,

When I commit a sin help me to be gentle with myself like you are to your little children!!!

The Lord be With YOU!!!!!

The Lord is always with us!! During times of trial and agony the Lord is with us the most!! When you call on him he will be there will you and comfort you!!! The Lord will never disappoint~~~

I found this prayer and it made me think of anyone who has anquish right now in their life>!! My they find hope and comfort in this prayeR!!!!

"O Christ Jesus,when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness,give us the sense of Your presence,Your love, and Your strength.Help us to have perfect trustin Your protecting love and strengthening power,so that nothing may frighten or worry us,for, living close to You,we shall see Your hand,Your purpose, Your will through all things"

"JESUS WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT!!!

Inspiring WORDS!!

"For the Struggles we face and conquer will only make us stronger"
"Bad Days are relative"
"For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord(Romans 6:23)"

And ALWAYS

HE LISTENS
HE HEARS
HE LOVES

Jesus Will NEver Disappoint!!!!!
