O dear Jesus, it is my faith in You and my longing for You that brought me to You at this time. You know me better than I know myself. You understand the deepest desires of my heart better than I can ever imagine. You formed me in my mother's womb and you know me by my name. I cannot hide from your love for your love is too much for me. I surrender myself to you because you are true to your promises. You said that the door will be opened to me if I knock, that I shall find if I seek. Now, I have come before you, not just to ask but to lay bare before you who made me and kept me in being.
No one has ever visited You or called upon You without obtaining Your mercy. With all my heart, I thank you for your choosing me. I thank you for redeeming me and making me a child of God! I come to adore You for the wonders of my being. I thank You for this opportunity to come into Your presence. Forgive me, my Jesus, for the many times I have wounded you by my sins. Purify me, Lord, for my sinfulness makes me uncomfortable before you. Enkindle in my heart the fire of your love! Give me, o dear Jesus, the grace to see you in everyone and to love my neighbours with your very love. Grant that I may visit you always, for your presence fills me with joy!
(Silence) ......
Whoever comes to Me I will never drive him away. No one ever comes to Me and goes back empty handed. I am and will always be a loving Father to you. I take delight in you. I alone know my plans for you. What are Your fears?..............................................................................................................................................................................[pause for awhile]. Are you afraid of your future? ... [Pause] Are You worried about Your family, your relatives, a personal project, about your life partner? ... Are You disturbed about Your job? Are you worried about the misunderstandings or prejudices people have against You? ... [Pause]. My child, be at peace! Nothing ever happens without the knowledge of your God. Leave whatever troubles your soul with me and go home with my peace. There will be an answer.
Thank you Lord for spending time with me a poor and miserable sinner. Your presence in me is the reason for my being. Give me your grace that I may never lose sight of your love. Be with me to guide and protect me. And may I always remain a channel of your love and goodness to all I may encounter this day. Amen
