You may wish to begin the final day of our retreat
by recalling one special grace that you have received
from the Lord yesterday as we talked and reflected
about the mysteries of Good Friday...

What is this grace?
Say a personal prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord...

Prayer requires both God’s action and our own effort.
We have to try our very best to listen to God,
and it is up to Him to decide which grace He wants to give us.
Let’s begin today’s recollection by doing some work:
“Chip away” the paint on the dungeon wall below.
Drag your mouse on the wall while pressing the left button.
Try your very best to clean the wall
to see clearly what hides beneath the paint.

When you are done, scroll down below to pray...

You may want to say the following prayer
—or something similar to it.
Use the words below, or you can add yours
—just pray slowly...

Dear Jesus,

Thank You for the pains You took
in order to enter the dungeons of our lives.

Thank You for entering
the innermost, darkest chambers
of our dungeons.

Thanks to Your loving self-sacrifice,
now I know that no distance is too great,
no dungeon too dark,
and no sin is too great
for Your love and light.

Help me, Lord Jesus,
to love You back as You deserve.

AMEN.
