Preparation

At my prayer place I consider Jane Browne, the oldest of Mary Ward’s companions who served with quiet dedication.

I become still in the presence of God.

Opening Prayer

I ask for the grace to be wholly God’s

Desire

I desire to be Jesus’ disciple and friend.

Prayer

I read the prayer text to anchor myself in the way of discipleship and friendship with Jesus.

I listen to his words…”whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also.”

I let them enter my heart.

Colloquy of the Senses

I hold a grain in my hand, the symbol of discipleship with Jesus.

Jesus and I share how we feel about our relationship and we consider how I may best follow him more wholly.

Prayer texts:

Deep within them I will plant my Law, writing it on their hearts. Jeremiah 31:33


Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24


Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. John 12:26
