Introductory Prayer

Father, you created me and put me on earth for a purpose. Jesus, you died for me and call me to complete your work. Holy Spirit, you help me to carry out the work for which I was created and called. In your presence and name—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I begin my reflection. May all my thoughts and inspirations have their origin in you and be directed to your glory.

Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter

“Remain in me, as I remain in you,” Jesus tells us today. In these words, we can feel the affection and steadfastness our Lord has for us. There is a certain romance in the notion of remaining. Lovers want to remain with one another. In the Spiritual Exercises, we are advised to remain with our experience of God’s love, rather than running ahead of God and grasping for new things. Even good things can lead us away from God if we chase after them without remaining in Him. How can we more fully remain in God’s love? The answers will vary among people. Let us pray to God that He may show us how best to remain with His Son.
