Inner Peace in Divine Love Retreat

Ex 6 – I abide in the love of Jesus

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 re-create the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus and disciples 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 while saying to him, gently and often, each of the desiring statements 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.
