Are You Open to Being Transformed?
Are you willing and ready to allow your life to be radically transformed? Are you willing to let go of being controlled by your ego and its self-limiting ways of thinking, seeing, feeling, and acting? Will you let go of your habitual and often unconsciously generated preconceptions, presumptions, and prejudices regarding yourself, your life circumstances, and others? Are you ready to trust yourself to God's will for you? Are you ready to surrender and abandon your heart, mind, soul, and entire being to the grace and power of God's unconditional love and transforming Spirit?
We invite you to pray and reflect on the "Suscipe" prayer by Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556):
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.
