pulled out this book for class

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

Wow, Your Word is so Powerful and Vibrant! Thank You SOOO MUCH Dear Love Lord Jesus Christ, I am so very grateful for all you share and inspire before me.

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

I know and trust Your Word in all things! Like this week began with me all stressed about the bankruptcy and pulling together all the evidence of fraud and deceptions. The more I looked the more I found. I even told Brent about it during our weekly call. So I sent it all in to the attorneys along with all my paychecks so they really had everything possible for the MMM. Course I told them it could never go through and they rescheduled it again. So my last note today said he would get the case plan provide as is and get it all done. Wow, set to the same payment again, about where I first started. And it just me here, so no real expenses except maintenance and mortgage. So to get that one locked-in for the next 5-7 years would be great. One less thing to worry about.

Yes Thanks Jesus, I know you always said I’m fine, no worries, just chug along and know it’s all coming out exactly like I need it to.  I know I understand this, just like I know I need todo more research and write up more of the frauds. . . . It’s not over yet, and it’s always more to do. But now it looks like progress and peace for a while again. I am so Grateful Jesus, and I PRAY to understand what I need to find and what I need to keep doing in your Love and Light to get things done.

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

What was most wonderful today dear Lord was staring with the prayerline and I had some lady who couldn’t handle my prayers or my manness, but called back again and again trying to get another volunteer. She hung up on me a few times, and then I changed my voice a bit, and told her the renounce and command.  She was really stubborn and arrogant but I finally got her to listen and she did it, and could feel the difference immediately. I always think thats so neato. I’ve seen that before.  They start out slow and grumpy, and then COMMAND, strong, clear, solid and sure. . . I love It!

Wednesday starts with making coffee, and then mass. Fr Claudius was there and so I went up to see him after and made sure he was coming to the mens group. We sang happy birthday and they had a gift for him. He’s 63 now . . . only 7 months older than me. . .lol. . . So after the men’s I walked him to mass, and told him what I read and changed here in my studies. . . 

OH feelings? Yes Mass had the sun in my face. Heart filled and bubbling up in love. Wow, wonderful. Then speaking with him is always cool. It was cool to share what I had found in here as well. Almost 2 years old when I restarted SEEL. That FEELS AWESOME, KNOWING FULL AND CLEAR HOW WE’VE been placed here to get things done. 

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

WoW, SO NEXT I was able to attend adoration. I never sat in prayer like that for 30 minutes on my knees!  Then I pulled out this book for class tomorrow. I think that’s why I’m awake now too. Been trying to sleep for the last two hours… 944pm now, it’s so beautiful to see numbers like that. Yes, it’s closer and closer to God every moment. It was such a delight to see my own note about Mary and Lisette in our first class Together. . . .and the numbers WOW!

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

OK THE BEST PART WAS. . . Adoration. . . I never kneel for 30 minutes praying with Jesus 

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

Please, continue to guide me To grow and Learn to prune and tend this garden before me.

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

I already wrote about the pruning and work I needed to do before me. It's really come through so strongly in Your Word!  Yes this intouch.org ministry I received today was completely in time with all my work and lessons for this day "According to The Way"

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

 

just something in a big deal of course

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

Wow, I get it now more than ever how powerful this is with Your Word! You are really putting me into a place for shifting everything!

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

Ok this morning in Mass before the Timeline Bible study. I got in as Fr Claudius was reading the morning Gospel.  I had the sunshine in my face again. Yes, I really love that. And soon I had my glasses off and was crying again. I could feel so much love coming up into my heart and so much Joy. And I heard how God really wants us to Himself. 

The idea of giving everything that I am to God bubbled up inside me. And I was crying as I felt how being "Wed to God" was no more children, no more relationships, no one else in my life beyond Jesus.  I have felt this before. But it had me in tears, considering what that really meant. I guess it was something I hadn't really considered in depth before. But then IT IS also really the place I've been for a while now in my home alone here doing everything He asks!

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

OK, so I'm not sure if I finished my last question yet. But now I consider the 2nd video we did today about the Bible Timeline Study. Genesis 2:18 was very clear that: "It is NOT GOOD that the Man should BE alone." And this was very strong and clear again for us all more than ever. And I know this deeper Power in Your Word!  So it feels more like the Love of Man and Woman needs God and the Holy Spirit to form the Trinity that we really belong in

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

And In this Word, I must pray to understand more deeply! Whether this is about my own experience and challenges before me or something else stronger and more focused than ever before. And I do know it's always about getting CLOSER and more sincere and Strong in the Love and Light of Jesus. And I see how things have been shifting more strongly all the time. Tuesday I had the violation hearing, then the counselor with Scott, and then the beer and burger. That was a BIG surprise. And wednesday was another surprise as I spoke to the Mayor again and then saw the Movie with Bishop Barron twice. 

Yes, I'm paying for a movie, that means I get to see it twice. I'm not sure about the logic there, except that I only will remember or understand things if I watch them twice.  Course the Mayor gave me another movie to watch (The Cinderella Man) and I was so proud to tell Scott that I watched "It's a Wonderful Life." OF course his comment on that movie came from my story of Joseph and wanting to heal Joseph, or knowing that I can.  Joseph was the name of the Angel in It's a Wonderful Life.

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

I am really confident in my place and experience. Like yesterday before the Morning Men's group Lisette sent me a request to help with the Adoration schedule. I posted it and then talked about it as well.  And now even committed to do some volunteer time myself.  What happened next was that I had the Prayerline that morning too.  And someone called in where she had a lot of Trauma from her childhood. And praying with her I ended up saying something about my own trauma. . . . and as awesome as it was, I started to tell this PrayerLine caller about how I've been welcomed into this church.

Ok, what was my point now was how explaining to the caller about community and love at St Raphael's went into the request from Lisette that brought me to tears. I mean, just the love and respect Lisette showed for me in requesting my help with the Adoration Schedule. It wasn't a big deal of course, but just something about sharing that deep intimate experience brought me to tears. Thankfully I got another text from Lisette asking something and I called her on the phone to tell her about my Prayerline call. . . . and I was in tears again speaking with Lisette. 

I did tell her again how there were men in the Exodus 90 men's group who have done more for me than any of my brothers ever have done.  And of course, that truth has brought me to tears several times as well.  

I guess now as I consider this before me, I realize how Jesus is guiding me into more and more every day. Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ!

It's important I stay in this routine

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

And it’s all about recognizing the deeper and more powerful experience of being here now. I really asked for all this. I didn’t know what I was asking for. I didn’t know what it meant. But now to be here so strong and clear is jsut wonderful!

Yes, Word He said is that I’m the “Man of Knowledge.” He said, I see the perspective of Jesus and understand the deeper laws behind creation and experiences.  I have the Understanding and am starting to live it stronger all the time. Now he is pushing the limits to break the systems of greed and control as that’s all I ever do! Alway such a wonderful joy too!

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

Thank you, Dear Jesus for your word and your love that Fills us with Your spirit in the Word! I'm totally perplexed again as  Ireturn online to catch up. I've been trying to do grades and lawsuits, and business development and all sorts. I'm not sure where I'm going or what I'm doing all the time. Last night the notice I sent to the city was still bruning through me. It was weird because I was insecure and struggling and ANNA called and prayed for me. 

Yes that was the moment I was pissed and frustrated trying to figure out how to proceed.  And the next morning I woke up with clearity and the solutions all within reach. So I DID all I needed to. I really still wasn't sure, but as I got through it all I was impressed. And last night reading it all again before bed, brought me peace and comfort and I was so ready to sleep. I decided to sleep in this morning and never got out of bed. . . lol. . . until Anna Called!  Yes, she struggling too.  I went through the Renounce and Command again with her and felt really good that she took to time to say it with me.

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

When Anna called again and admitted she needed help.  I sorta recognized she hadn't taken the Renounce and Command seriously and tried the run the words together like any old prayer!  It's been really wonderful to experience and understand how often this has helped people. I mean everyone who calls the Prayerline starts off talking about stress, depression or anxiety.  It's always wonderful to Pray for people, and whenever I can I offer more.  Not everyone allows anything extra or follows me, but I've had plenty of people call back to tell me about their success removing evil and such.

Yes, once again it's important for me to practice what I preach! 

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

The Truth of this Word comes through stronger and stronger all the time! I am always so grateful to have this opportunity to share and explore more deeply with You. The experience of Your Love and Joy comes through to me so strong and always surprises me. . . I know  Ica ndo antyhing and I know it's really my place to step into new things 

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

Yes I know I need to do so much more tomorrow. I'm sorry. I stayed in Bed today. I know. Iskipped a night of sleep and I know it's no big deal. . . Yes I used that as an excuse to stay in bed. I'm sorry. It's important I stay in this routine we created and stay focused in all that means for me each day. Please lend Your Strength, Love, & Wisdom to saty in God's Will and complete everything that I need to complete for US!
I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

to step into and build from.

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

Always, and I just love it. Whenever we say the Lord's Prayer it gets so strong and focused. You Word is always such a Blessing and a joy to share and experience.!

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

Yes I love Your Word! And I am so very Grateful . . . Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Please lend Your Strength, Love, & Wisdom to bring me more fully into the Will of God and all that you have placed before me.

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

Yes, I was deep in Your Word during Mass this morning! And I had the clear recognition that I was getting more connected to this Church and more accepted into this community. I know there is so much more to this and so much for me to step into and build from. I started this morning with the ladies group and made WAY TOO MUCH coffee, and so have three pots waiting for me now, more than enough for tonight and tomorrow. 

Yes tonight there was a knights meeting, and I got all the beer in the fridge this morning for it. So tonight I pulled it all out for the guys. Thanksfully the knights stashed it into one of their storage spaces so it was out of the kitchen. I got out all the extra food too. But this included yogurt that was planned for the ladies group this morning. So I cleaned out as much as possible, and went too far with some things. I know I need to buy some more as needed.

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

I mean it seems like I have so much to do and I know there is still so much more. And I am listening to Focus on the Family. And it's always bringing me stronger into whatever I needed to do next. Yes making coffee for three or four groups now. And cleaning and maintaining the kitchen areas. It’s not much but something I can do and stay focused and dedicated.

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific! I am

I need to stay in your word and step forward. Please guide me and lead me to your Will.
I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

these kids learned to take care of thing

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

It’s really incredible how this world is spinning. Each day I’ve been busy in projects all about. Cut the grass and blower after Mass this morning . . . Then threw the dropped bike onto the container. It’s time these kids learned to take care of things. I feel like no one takes care of things here but me. And it’s crazy messy everywhere. . . And I stop now to do the Bible readings and St. Michael’s Lent. And then I’ve also been listening to Dr. A filling me with insights and understanding. 
YOUR Word fills me with challenges!

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life. And that’s really where you are. Knowing you can take this experience of your love to a stronger experience. It’s your gift we are all here about. Making this change before you

I know there is too much going on here, and it's starting to give me Hibbie Jibbies. . .

it's remakrable how this world shifts all the time. I get confused and insecure and then suddenly I'm filled with a Vision and experience of Love that Only could coem from one place. Like I called my children just now since I was scared and crying. 

I don't know I just get insecure wondering what I'm doing and how to make it work. I stop to think and get scared. I know everything is planned and perfect. I know I'm so very blessed and strong in whatever I need to do. I really never sure what that means or how to step in and trust that it's all exactly where it needs to be. I'm still perplexed and amazed all the time.  I have the most perfect meals and experiences. Like somehow whatever I do is drenched with Magic and Grace that somehow it's all working perfectly. I read the right bible verse, the next class it just right for what I need to do. 

And I know it's always trusting on Your Word!

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

When Anna called I was so STUCK, and MAD!  Wow and she shared YOUR Word!  She prayed for me in Love and truth, just being real in her moment with me. . . Wow she led this time, she said a prayer filled with Love and Support, just being real in this moment. Allowing her light to shine to me and make me smile and be strong.

I mean I was crying when I talked to my Emi-Ems!

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

I know that this Word, Is getting stronger and stronger every morning. Today at the Exodus 90 checking in with everybody Ryan spoke about doing that Examen. Every time I do this, I get stronger and stronger Focus into what I’m struggling with. Doing my classes, doing my letters, doing my research, I’m doing, doing, and doing. Be Real about it means that I have to honor the time alone and the time the rest.

I always feel like that’s what my biking is about. And then I also relax when I eat. So when God gives me the opportunity to make some yummy food or play in the garden, it’s always about loving Jesus.. I recognize that that’s a private worship time that I have with God. I always recognize Saint Mary and Saint Joseph. Saint Mary loves the garden and Saint Joseph loves the tools and Jesus is there for the ride.

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

My big lesson this morning before mass was with a prayer group. I had a Prayerline call where he was ready to sell everything and clean out his house to go live homeless I told him about being sure that he’s listening to Jesus not Satan! Satan can come in and pretend to be anybody at any time and it’s so easy for us to listen to the wrong voice and never question. So always asking for the name of Jesus keeps us focused and clear.

Of course, I did the renouncing command rhythm as well… Well, I’m talking to my iPhone now, it’s getting a flavor. I’ve never written before. I mean literally switching words to get a deeper meaning. I’ve also seen it switch words to get the opposite meeting so I always have to go back and read over. Thank you, Lord Jesus I love you!
I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

feel stronger and more capable than ever

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

I'm always so inspired to share with you Jesus and I know we have this wonderful experience together. And I know it’s always in Your Word and it’s always so strong and clear. I also always know it’s so much more that I need to do and understand.  Like now I feel you calling me to get outside and get busy with something else I need to do.  Yes, I’m going! 

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

Yes, I understand Your Word, and I'm always just DOING!  And then I wonder what it's about. I know sometimes it's just about influencing others. Like I had a package to pickup at the UPS store. So I went to MY UPS store, since I wanted to check on my BSN cards too.  Of course, as I arrived Ivano was leaving so I asked him about the cards. Yes, I opened the door for him as he went out, and nothing done yet?!?!  But he's onto it!  Of Course, my package was at the other store by Publix.  But the sweet lady at the desk, gave me some cold bottle of water anyway.

So I always need things at Publix anyway, so going there is cool. No money on Larry's Card as I had just visited the city to pay my water bill.  Yes, I was driving around so I started at the house under construction where I got stone and wood before, and got a number for the general contractor. Then visited St Raphael's to pickup left-overs and empty boxes.  Then by City, and Ferments (closed, no one at Charles either) UPS, then to the 2nd UPS, and Publix, and I realized I forgot left-over yogurt at the church.

So back to St Raphael's, wow the fidge was packed with left-overs now as the youth group had a party yesterday.  Wow, then past the house again, and Charles, and then heading home I turned north on 9th to visit Kopp. Talked with everyone but him, and realized I needed to write up everything for him too.

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

Yes, I know YOUR Word!  So I started writing things up. I know the for Kopp and the City are all one the same page. About me getting more specific and focused in my letter writing and research deeper into the stuff I know. Of course, Anna called too and she's doing he same thing as me, getting specific and detailed about what's right and wrong with this world around us. 

Yes I admitted to Anna, that it's important to recognize Jesus is Partnering with us and making this force moving forward.  It's always a challenge, but now with thousands of Talents beyond the ten we started with, we must continue and know we are ready to do it.  It's always so much more of a struggle and it's not right to have these challenges, but we are stron and capable to move through them. 

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

Yes I love Your Word Jesus! And each time I'm pushing through these things, it really makes me feel stronger and more capable than ever. It's not something that limits me but makes me feel more confident and stronger every day moving through things before me. And now again I realize my other case to submit is for completing my DrPH. Yes I know I can do that too. and it's really about writing what I want to do and where I can step into more and more each day.

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

Yes tomorrow, I start with the men's group and the power and focus that brings for me. And I know i'm always growing and stepping into more and more. So I'm sure I'll be more focused and stronger than ever. Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ . . . 

I can't tell you how many times

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

1. Place yourself in God’s presence.

I've been learning what it means to be part of this church community in Saint Petersburg.  A few weeks ago I had another counseling session and the new lady that took over was dealing with an emergency today when I was scheduled to see her again. So they told me that there was someone else that was free if I was ok with seeing someone else. 

So I met Scott, who is the first male counselor I've seen since Dr. Firstandig in High School after my accident.  Yes, since High School this doc and every other man I've met is always only concerned about themselves, so I've avoided men.  As weird as it was Scott asked the right questions and understood just what he needed to get me open like a book. Our first meeting I told him that after a dozen others he understood and heard 90% of my world, while the best so far barely followed 70%. He was polite and laughed, so I scheduled the next session with him too.

Almost a month later I met with Scott again and admitted how I needed to learn to cry again, as I started to cry in Mass when Simon Peter was at the feet of Jesus. Once again he got down the right road and had me crying in the office. While walking out, we were still talking about what it means to be part of this culture. . . He talked about books everyone reads in high school and movies.  Like "It's a Wonderful Life" . . . yes I admitted I had not seen all of even this movie. The last thing he said was that was a movie that might make me cry too . . . I just watched the last of it.  20-30 minutes each day, and I've just finished it with dinner now and cried again.

2. Give thanks for God’s great love for you. Pray for the grace to understand how God is acting in your life.

Thanks Dear Love Lord Jesus. I know your Word has been very clear and focused, guiding me to cook liver and onions now and sit and watch the end of this movie! 

I recognize that You have been ever present, and also know I have such a deeper insight and experience with You knowing how each step of The Way is calculated and determined to be exactly what You planned for me to grow and learn to bring Your people home.  

I know this is exactly what You planned. I know everything is changing. I know that I have to be more assertive and clear every step of The Way. I realize this moment alone with You is really more important as everything else before me. My place and time must be more determined than ever. Here alone with You it gets more clear and powerful every moment. I jumped up this morning with a long list before me already and I wasn't sure about why, where, or what. Yea, I knew sunrise was 7:14am, and mass was 8am, and FAST 1pm, so I was bringing my iPad and work to do. Including a wrench to restart the clogged garbage disposal in Caverly Hall.

Now sitting alone with You, I can explore more. Like Randy scheduled a time for me to meet his GA who has been doing marketing and such for the college. He's always been so clear and focused on making things better there at Patel. Again my time and place is really almost remarkable seeing how I bring so much together . . . As I see more and more connections inviting Bea, Jude, Ash, Rich and really wonder where it's going, but again feel the sure confidence and Blessing of God throughout. 

3. As you review your day — recall specific moments and significant feelings that surface as you remember.

As I biked into church today I saw chuck again, getting into his car and I was ready to bike up right next to him. I soon realized how I had my Stars History Book and could really get down and dirty with him. I even turned back thinking I could get a few words in at a stop sign. Yes, I realized how I really needed to plan something more focused and professional. I know this really means getting serious about who I am and what I do. It's really kinda weird to understand how far I've come and what's here before me again to achieve. Yes achieve beyond all reason.

 I also realized how I really had everything I needed to do so much more than ever before. Like developing and expanding my classes is all about me and only me. I keep thinking that I need help or someone else will make it easier, or better, or faster to do something that I really am the only one capable of doing. And somehow this always returns me to my dream and death experience seeing and understanding something that is simply beyond what anyone else could imagine. WOW!

4. Pray for Deeper understanding as you reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances. Were you drawing closer to God, or further away?

Praying for deeper Understanding is really about stepping beyond what I do and know already. Getting closer to Your Word! Like stopping to really cry and feel more deeply into all the challenges and experiences that I have and see. I'm constantly intimidated by what I have to do or the next steps that suddenly appear before me. It's really remarkable and dumbfounding that I see these steps and opportunities appear from nowhere and magically impress and surprise me.

And yes, sometimes I really do NOT understand what I'm doing or why. Like when I had jumped to leave this morning. I had my Bible study books in my bag, and planned to stay after mass to study until the 1pm FAST meeting. But I pulled out the study books? Yes I guess I had the digital version too, and prefer to markup digital to use in my blogs. And then put my Stars History Book in the bag. Wow?! that seemed crazy, I've done that a hundred times already and no one at church has gotten that far yet. I mean, I can't just stick it in front of someone to share another crazy story.

And most of the church has already heard too many crazy stories from me. . . . and obviously no one believes or understands, as most people either avoid me or treat me like I'm homeless or handicapped or worse. I mean, I've noticed so many really seem like they are afraid of me.  I can't tell you how many times I've said that "I grew up in the woods" and never has anyone really understood that this means that I DO NOT communicate well with people.  Course when we did the Marianne Consecration and I recognized the Voice of Saint Mary from the woods I grew-up in. . . again something that others can not understand or believe.

5. Look toward tomorrow — think of how you might collaborate more effectively with God’s plan. Be specific!

I have another full day tomorrow. I offered to help make coffee for the OCIA, and really thought to attend again since I've never learned all the words people say each day in Mass.  I also have another FAST meeting at St Pauls before all this at St Raphaels. . . which is really kinda neato for me, to be busy running from one church to another. Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ

it's one thing to have a deeper relationship and a deeper understanding. It's another thing to recognize the responsibility and the, The duty almost to help others grow and lead more strongly instead of being, and that's, that's, that's not an easy thing to do. 

make a friend, be a friend, bring a friend to Christ.

You know, and and and to recognize that, okay, what I really need to ask for is guidance on engaging this community and leading this community and being part of what it means to be part of a real community. 

Auditio divina (or audio divina) is a modern contemplative prayer practice that adapts the ancient Benedictine tradition of lectio divina (sacred reading) into a form of sacred listening focused on music and sound. [1, 2]

Overview of the Practice

Definition: Instead of reading a written passage of Scripture, practitioners listen attentively to music or lyrics to encounter the sacred in everyday sounds. [1, 2]
Roots: It evolves from lectio divina, translating the traditional focus from visual text to auditory experience. [1]
Application: Contemporary guides, such as the work by Katie McAllister and Tony Pichler or resources like Listening with Heart through Auditio Divina, use popular songs and standard hymns to open up spiritual reflection. [1, 2]

The Process

While variations exist, sacred listening generally follows a multi-step movement mirroring traditional meditation:

Listen: Hear the piece multiple times or with deep attention, letting the melody, rhythm, or lyrics wash over the senses.
Meditate: Notice thoughts, memories, or specific words in the lyrics that evoke a deeper personal or spiritual resonance.
Pray: Turn the emotional and mental response into a quiet conversation or offering to God.

what are saint ignatius 32 essence of spirituality.
There is no official or canonical list of "32 essences" written by St. Ignatius of Loyola. When the number 32is associated with Ignatian spirituality, it typically refers to one of two things: [1]
The 32-Week Spiritual Exercises: The standard adaptation of St. Ignatius's 30-day silent retreat for everyday life (known as the 19th Annotation) is traditionally structured as a 32-week spiritual journey.[1, 2]
General Congregation 32 (GC 32): A historic 1974 meeting of the Jesuits that defined the modern essence of Ignatian spirituality as "the service of faith and the promotion of justice." [1]
If you are looking for the absolute core pillars and essence of Ignatian spirituality developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, they are captured in these fundamental principles: [1]
1. Finding God in All Things
Ignatian spirituality is profoundly optimistic. It operates on the belief that God is not holding aloof from the world but is actively working in our everyday lives, relationships, work, and nature. Every moment holds the potential for a divine encounter. [1, 2]
2. Contemplative in Action
Rather than withdrawing from society into a monastic life, Ignatians aim to be "contemplatives in action." This means balancing deep, reflective prayer with active, generous service in the world. [1, 2, 3]
3. The Discernment of Spirits
Ignatius recognized that our hearts are constantly moved by different internal forces (feelings, desires, and anxieties). Discernment is the practice of noticing these movements to distinguish between: [1]
Spiritual Consolation: Movements that bring peace, hope, love, and a closer connection to God.
Spiritual Desolation: Movements that lead to anxiety, dryness, emptiness, and moving away from God.[1]
4. The Daily Examen
A central practice of Ignatian life is the Daily Examen, a short, twice-daily prayerful review of one's day. It consists of five steps: [1, 2]
Gratitude: Relishing the blessings of the day.
Petition: Asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Review: Looking back at the hours passed to see where God was active.
Forgiveness: Asking for healing where you fell short.
Renewal: Looking forward to tomorrow with hope and intent. [1]
5. Holy Indifference and Freedom
To Ignatius, "indifference" does not mean not caring; it means inner freedom and detachment. It is the state of holding things lightly so that addictions, fears, or ego do not dictate choices, leaving you completely free to choose whatever best serves God. [1, 2]
6. Magis (The Greater Glory of God)
Magis translates to "the more." It is the restless desire to always choose what is more conducive to God’s praise and service—summed up by the famous Jesuit motto: Ad maiorem Dei gloriam (For the greater glory of God). [1, 2, 3]
