Praying/Journaling Exercise

  • Settle in, quieting yourself, noticing the sensations in your body, the sounds around you
  • Ask the Spirit of God to open you to whatever you need from the message
  • Play the message, and listen to it with your eyes closed, if this helps to reduce distrations
  • What thoughts and feelings are awakened in you? Listen to them, and if you have a journal, write them down. Perhaps you might then listen to the message again, and repeat attending to your thoughts and feelings.
  • What prayers of petition, thanksgiving, remorse come naturally? What gifts or graces do you seek? Express them to God.
  • Spend a little time just resting in the awareness of God's love for you.
