Into the Unknown - Novena Prayer MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. - Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude, © Abbey of Gethsemani https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618082649e23e52e2f81dfac/1644513648443-3SAL5LCILCB6AQ3T9FCB/unsplash-image-GX542ehZwSk.jpg The Novena - Day 1.

The Desire to Be Cool - Novena Prayer Renewal of Consecration to Mary. Mary, please intercede for me during this Discernment Novena. You heard the voice of the angel and trusted in the plan of God, Teach me to listen and to trust. You pondered in your heart the mystery of God’s unfolding will. Teach me to silently reflect and discern. You yielded to the power and grace of the Holy Spirit; gratefully receiving His gifts Teach me to receive the gifts of the Spirit in my life. You courageously followed the path marked down for you by God – even to the foot of the cross. Teach me to be courageous in bearing with Jesus my own cross. Mary, my mother, I consecrate myself to you for the duration of this period of discernment. Please pray for me that when the time is right, I will respond to God’s invitation in the same words as you: “I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say” (In my own words, I ask for Mary’s intercession for anything I’m struggling with or that I need related to my discernment journey).

But this is not difficult, if one thinks what these few years passed in suffering are, compared with eternal happiness where joy will have no measure or end, and where we shall have unimaginable peace. Let us pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, teach me that I must be able to mourn if I will be able to rejoice. Show me how to face my sorrow, and not avoid it or pretend that it does not exist. Help me to enter into any present sorrow, so that my soul can empty itself and be filled with God’s peace. Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is our Consoler, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (in your own words, ask the Father to enable you to see yourself in his eyes, with his loving gaze).

Why Do I Keep Sinning? - Novena Prayer Jesus says: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Pier Giorgio responds: With violence you sow hatred, and you harvest its bad fruits. With charity, you sow peace among men – not the peace that the world gives, but the true peace that only faith in Jesus Christ can give us in common brotherhood. Let us pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, guide me in claiming my rightful inheritance as a child of God and heir of His Kingdom. Show me, by your own example, how to be slow to anger, and gentle in my dealings with others. Help me to show forth the peace of Christ by speaking words of peace, and by living a life of peace. Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is meek and humble of heart, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare.

Just Friends? - Novena Prayer Jesus says: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Pier Giorgio responds: I beg you to pray for me a little, so that God may give me an iron will that does not bend and does not fail in His projects. Let us Pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, lead me in the path of purity, for only those who are clean of heart can behold God’s face. Help me to be faithful to the covenant I have made with God in Baptism, that I may always be loyal to His command and thus offer Him sincere worship. Show me by your life how to be single hearted and completely, unswervingly, dedicated to proclaiming the Kingdom of God here on earth. Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is pure love and holiness, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare.

Discernment Defined - Novena Prayer Jesus says: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Pier Giorgio responds: I offer you my best wishes – or, rather, only one wish, but the only wish that a true friend can express for a dear friend: may the peace of the Lord be with you always! For if you possess peace every day, you will be truly rich. Let us Pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, despite your daily struggles, you found peace by fostering your own well being in work, study and play; in prayer alone and with others; in silence and in song, in laughter and in serious conversation with friends. Guide me to that inner peace which will enable me to share peace with others. Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is our peace, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (in your own words, ask for the Lord to give you greater gratitude for the graces and gifts you have received from him.)

The Call: Recognizing God’s Voice - II - I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears I hid from Him, and under running laughter. Up vista’d hopes I sped; And shot, precipitated, Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears, From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.

The Call: Four Ways of Listening - The Spirit’s power is infinitely, exquisitely delicate, such as no created person could possibly exercise on another or even imagine. So, far from merely moving us like puppets or automatons, when the Holy Spirit moves us through discernment to choice and action, he calls us to actualize our most real selves under control of the freedom which he creates in us.

The Call: Listening with the Soul - All of a sudden I was seized with an unutterable happiness, a happiness of spirit that tore me free from myself. For a few minutes my soul was completely absorbed in God. I could not have said what was taking place in me, but my thoughts, instead of wandering here and there, as they usually did, came to a standstill in a sort of rapture that I have never experienced since. And the very words I use in trying to describe the indescribable only serve to confuse my memories. And yet this is not so. What lives in my memory is the feeling of deep security – a little of which still remains – the inexpressible peace enjoyed by the soul when it takes shelter under the all-powerful wing of the Lord Diary of Julien Green, 1941 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618082649e23e52e2f81dfac/1644513648443-3SAL5LCILCB6AQ3T9FCB/unsplash-image-GX542ehZwSk.jpg The Novena - Day 83.

And behold two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master it is good that we are here; let us make three (tabernacles) one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they become frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.

The Road: The Way of the Martyr - Spiritual Life Survey Phase: A PROCESS: Attention. In “A” the Process is Attention. God works at getting our attention. We live in a distracted culture and our hyper-busy existence closes us to God’s action and intervention. In this phase God works to break into our crowded lives to make his presence and power known. RESULT: Awareness. God makes us Aware of his personal presence and invites us into a relationship with him. There are generally no feelings associated with this realization. It comes as a simple understanding: we “get it” that it is possible to go from knowing about God to knowing God. Even so, we haven’t personally experienced this yet in our own lives. OBSTACLE: Apathy. The obstacle at this stage is Apathy – knowing that we can have a relationship with God, we remain indifferent to his presence. Maybe I dismiss it as something for “religious types” and not for me. Maybe I avoid it because religion has too many rules and I want to feel free. Whatever the reason, we put God off or ignore him altogether. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618082649e23e52e2f81dfac/1644513648443-3SAL5LCILCB6AQ3T9FCB/unsplash-image-GX542ehZwSk.jpg The Novena - Day 95.

The Reward: “…and eternal life besides” - Novena Prayer Jesus says: Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. Pier Giorgio responds: We who by the grace of God are Catholics must steel ourselves for the battle we shall certainly have to fight to fulfill our program and to give our country, in the not too distant future, happier days and a morally healthy society. But to achieve this we need constant prayer to obtain from God that grace without which all our powers are useless. Let us Pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, show me how to bear all wrongs patiently. Help me to accept the sufferings which others inflict on me because of my desire to be faithful to Jesus. Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who protects the innocent, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare.

Ad Sum - Novena Prayer CONCLUDING RENEWAL OF CONSECRATION TO MARY Mary, please continue to intercede for me as I conclude this Discernment Novena. You heard the voice of the angel and trusted in the plan of God, Teach me to listen and to trust. You pondered in your heart the mystery of God’s unfolding will. Teach me to silently reflect and discern. You yielded to the power and grace of the Holy Spirit; gratefully receiving His gifts Teach me to receive the gifts of the Spirit in my life. You courageously followed the path marked down for you by God – even to the foot of the cross. Teach me to be courageous in bearing with Jesus my own cross. Mary my mother, I have consecrated myself to you for the duration of this period of discernment. Please continue to pray for me so that when the time is right, I will respond to God’s invitation in the same words as you: “I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say.” Amen. (in your own words, ask for Mary to obtain for you the grace of a vocation). https://www.99daynovena.org/novena/category/Part+2%3A+A+Table monthly 0.5 https://www.99daynovena.org/novena/category/Part+1%3A+Pre-Novena monthly 0.5 https://www.99daynovena.org/novena/category/Part+3%3A+A+Temple monthly 0.5 https://www.99daynovena.org/novena/category/Part+4%3A+A+Treasure monthly 0.5 https://www.99daynovena.org/discernment-advisor-meeting daily 0.75 2022-10-18 https://www.99daynovena.org/discernment-advisor-meeting/guide monthly 0.5 2022-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618082649e23e52e2f81dfac/231ab113-ccf9-48aa-92c0-74c7925d2b27/centurystone-bluredges.jpg Discernment Advisor -
