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.

February 5, 2004 message continues
Messenger:        
I want to emphasize that the retreat starts
                       
on February 10, 2004 in the evening.
                           
The retreat in China will begin with the
                       
6:20 prayers on Tuesday night.
                           
Silence is then observed until the end of
                       
the retreat except for special discussion or
                       
participating in the prayers.
                           
Those coming to the retreat on February 11, 2004
                       
should be prepared and should have begun
                       
the retreat the night of February 10, 2004 as the
                       
others have in China.
                           
Tuesday night readings should include
                               
from
                                The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, 
                                    by Louis J.
Puhl, S.J.
                               
Introductory Observations pp. 1-10
                                   
numbers  1-20

pp. 141-150 
                                   
numbers  313-336
                           
It is essential these readings are done
                               
slowly before the meeting on February 11, 2004
                               
9:00.
                           
The following meditations are to be made.
                               
February 10, 2004 before bed
                               
meditate for 30 minutes on
                               
#23  p.
      12
FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION
                               
February 11, 2004
                                   
before 
                                   
meditation on the following meditation
                                       
for 30 minutes
                                      
#45-54  pages 25-28
                           
All these meditations should begin with the following
                               
prayer —
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p. 2546. 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 service of His Divine Majesty.
February 5, 2004 message continues
Messenger:     The
retreat will begin with a talk in
                           
the Church on February 11, 2004 at 9:00.
                           
All there should have eaten breakfast
                           
before this time.
                       
Exposed Adoration will begin after Mass at 12:00,
                           
noon on February 11, 2004
                       
Others than the retreatants are asked to do the adoration
                           
after 12AM —
                           
so the retreatants can get a good nights sleep.
                       
This is not the time for the retreatants to go on a diet. You
                           
will need your strength and the proper rest.
                       
This is a special Shepherds of Christ —
                           
St. Ignatius retreat. It is not the same
                           
as other retreats on the Spiritual Exercises
                           
although we use the book for some of
                           
the retreat.
                       
These traditional retreats on the Spiritual Exercises
                           
are very important retreats.
                       
Our method here is to employ the principles
                           
of Spiritual Exercises and the basic
                           
principles of the Shepherds of Christ meditations to
                           
lead to a deeper love union with God
                           
and to help strengthen the vocation of
                           
servants, handmaids, apostles, associates,
                           
prayer apostles, Apostles of the Eucharistic
                           
Heart, priests who are members of the
                           
Shepherds of Christ Movement and called to
                           
this vocation.
                       
This retreat centers around the four sets of
                           
mysteries of the rosary.
                           
February 11  Joyful Mysteries
                           
February 12  Mysteries of Light
                           
February 13  Sorrowful Mysteries
                           
February 14  Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
 
A Very Important retreat for apostles
February 11, 2004 Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
to February 14, 2004 Valentine's Day
It ends at 3:00pm.
Personal reading and meditation
is needed beginning the night of the
10th from wherever you are.
(This will not interfere with
the normal
February 13th gathering in China, Indiana.)
Adorers will be needed for
the 
evening and early morning hours
since the apostles will be in retreat.
(Please call Doris if you
intend to come
to the retreat)
The Country Hearth Inn has
rooms available for $45
Please remember us in your will.
