Introduction by Mary Elizabeth
Prayer: Come Holy Spirit, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and grant me the grace to know my true identity as the Bride of Christ, filled with His Splendor and Light, shining His glory, and in being one in Spirit and Mission with the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.

Journaling questions after listening to the meditation and meditation song:
1) Jesus, how are You calling me to a deeper commitment to live out my identity as Your Bride, shining Your glory, and being united with You in Spirit and Mission for the salvation of souls?
2) Holy Spirit, in what ways are You asking me to renew my devotion to the Lamb of God in New Covenant Love and zeal for the Heavenly Father’s Kingdom?
3) Heavenly Father, how are You empowering me to go forth in the darkness bearing the Light of Christ, my Bridegroom, and remaining faithful as a praise of Your glory?
