Opening
Prayer: Jesus
has poured out His spirit on us, allowing us to call God “Abba, Father!” In Christ, we are heirs of the Father,
brothers and sisters of the Prince of Peace, and beneficiaries of the Holy
Spirit. So, approach Jesus with
confidence. He loves you, so you can
feel free to ask him for what you need. Receive the comforts he delights to
give you. Blessed Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I accept adoption into your family. I have so many needs, but above them all, I
need to know your love. Today, create
more room in my heart so that I might know your love better. Amen.

Song: “Jesus
is Changing Me” (Pete/ Banjo,
Carlos/Drums)
·
Witness: Nancy Wiscievicz reflected on how the Lord
has worked in her life, bringing her guidance in difficulties and comfort in
sorrows. She shared how Jesus is
changing her to release control of her life and trust in Him to give her what
she needs to be more Christian. She gave
Jesus the credit for helping her to be with her sister through her recent illness
and death and to accept the will of God in her life. Nancy gave us copies of the Litany of
Humility to pray together as she concluded her witness:
“O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred to others,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the fear of being humiliated, deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected.
That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, give me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I,
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase
and I may decrease.
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
That others may become holier than I, provided that I
may become as holy as I should.
(Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val)
