I abide in the love of Jesus

Spiritual Exercise 6

Preparation 

I take a relaxed position with a straight back, my body poised for prayer.
I make a gesture of reverence and humility.

Opening Prayer   
I ask for the grace to direct my whole self toward Jesus.

Desire   
I desire to abide in the love of Jesus.

Prayer
I use my imagination to recreate the scene of the Last Supper with the details of place, conversation, actions and people. Then I take my place at the table.

I hear Jesus address me personally. Slowly reading the prayer text, I listen to his joyful words, each singing in my heart.

In response, I abide in Jesus saying to him, gently and often, each desiring statement below for a few minutes each:

I abide in your love.
I am enjoyed by you.
I feel complete in you.

Conversation  
I end my prayer with the Our Father.
