IT<\/strong> says in First John:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This retreat is happening because God loves you. The sometimes hard truths you are facing are because God loves you. The healing and liberation you’re beginning to experience is because God loves you. He loved you first.<\/em> He will not stop loving you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. (Rom 5:8)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, continue to trust that He will also heal you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s begin Day 10 of our Healing Retreat<\/a>: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come Holy Spirit, open my heart this day to receive the fullness of the Father’s love for me. Help me to rest upon His lap and know His love. Expand my heart to receive His love so that I, in turn, may be a vessel of that same love to the world. Jesus, your Holy Name is healing itself. I love you and adore you and thank you for dying so that I can be healed and saved by Your grace. In your name, Jesus, I pray, amen. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Lady often says to “pray with the heart”, not just mutter the words and go through the motions but to mean them “with the heart,” as you would speak with a friend. And so, let’s pray this song with the heart… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
