Day 8.

Closing Prayer of the Retreat

Welcome to
Vocation Quest!
This is the final day
of an 8-day discernment retreat.
If you are entering
the site here,
we invite you to start at the
beginning.

blat Return prayerfully to what you have written during your reflections of the past seven days.

Loving Spirit of Wisdom, 
guide my thoughts and my memories.
  
In the light of your love, 
may I see 
what is important for me to remember,
what is important for me to
hold to my heart, 
and what I need simply to
let go of in peace,

for I trust you to be my guide
even when the path
seems unclear to me.
Through Jesus Christ,
Amen.

 

What particularly stands out for you from these days?

 

blat Sit quietly for a few minutes with what you have written.
You might want to take a word or a verse and repeat it peacefully, letting it sink more deeply into your heart.

blat Write or talk to God about what has stood out for you and about what you are feeling now. (The text box below will expand as you write.)

 

Close with the Our Father or with the prayer below.

Loving God,
may I take on the mind and heart
of Christ,
that I may hear your call for my life
and embrace your world
through my prayer, my work, 
and my life with others,
in Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Jesus is the prime object of our faith... We come to know in Jesus that the REALITY, the MYSTERY in which we are immersed, the nature of which we could know nothing unless disclosed to us, loves us.
