DAY 9: ‘‘You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart'' Matthew 22,37
Part 1: Gospel from Saint Matthew 22,37-38
‘‘Jesus said to him, ‘ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.''
Part 2: Meditation (10 Min.)
We will use the ‘Our Father' prayer to meditate on this last day of prayer:
‘‘Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
Are we forgive those who trespass against us
And let us not enter into temptation but deliver us from all evil.''
Amen
Find a quiet environment and empty your mind.
Make the sign of the cross.
Plead the Virgin Mary to help you and be with you during our prayer. Start meditating on the ‘Our Father' in your heart, enjoying each word.
Part 3: Request of a Special Intention for Father's Day
Saint Francois de Sales's prayer to Saint Joseph : Glorious Saint Joseph
Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of Mary, grant us your paternal protection, we pray you through the heart of Jesus Christ. You, whose infinite power covers all our needs, and you who make possible for us the most impossible things, open your eyes as a father on your children's interests. In embarassment and pain that press us, we come to you with confidence ; may you take us under your charitable care and solve this so important issue (your intention), source of our worries. May its successful end serves to glorify the Lord and benefits his devoted servants.
Amen
PART 4 (end) : Charles de Foucauld's Prayer of Abandonment
‘Father, I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.' Amen
