Spiritual exercises: increase our desire for Jesus

Da Paolo Tessione - March 13, 2020

The more we get to know Jesus, the more we desire him. And the more we desire it, the more we get to know it. This is a beautiful cyclical experience of knowing and wanting, wanting and knowing.

Do you wish to know your precious Lord? Do you crave it? Reflect on this desire in your soul and if it is missing, know that it is because you must know it more. Also reflect on the ways you perceive true knowledge of Jesus. What does that knowledge of Him do to you? Let it move from your head to your heart and from your heart to all your affections. Allow Him to work on you, to draw you and to wrap you in His Mercy.

PRAYER

Sir, help me get to know you. Help me understand you in your perfection and mercy. And as I know you, you flood my soul with a desire and a desire for more of you. May this desire increase my love for you and help me know you even more. Jesus I believe in you.

EXERCISE: YOU MUST TAKE TEN MINUTES OF YOUR DAYS TO REFLECT ON JESUS. YOU MUST MEDITATE ON HIS PERSON, ON YOUR CALL TO THE FAITH, ON HIS TEACHING. EVERY DAY FOR TEN MINUTES YOU HAVE TO BE SILENT FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS AND IN YOU MUST ALWAYS GROW THE DESIRE TO HAVE A STRONG AND SECURE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
