The Glory of God: “Prepare My Bride to Receive My Glory”
“I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God almighty and the Lamb.
The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the Glory of God gave it light,
and its lamp was the Lamb.”
(Revelations 21:22-23)

Journaling questions after listening to the meditation and meditation song:
1) Journal separately with each Person of the Holy Trinity and Our Lady and ask what are Their hopes for you on this Retreat.
2) Holy Spirit, how are You calling me to more deeply believe and yield to God’s Word, and to become a house of prayer like Our Lady? Allow the Holy Spirit to bring up any area(s) of unbelief in your heart that might be a block to being open to a deeper relationship with the Holy Trinity.
3) Holy Spirit, how are You inviting me to be open to the Holy Trinity breaking new ground of faith, hope and love within my heart on this Retreat?
