she told me how I could ask to pray for peopl
Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!
What do you need to share now?
I recognize that I have so much to share all the time and I’m learning and growing all the time. I also recognize that I have so much in hand. I’m never really sure what should be prioritized. Like now, I feel like I should go outside and start digging in the dirt. Larry’s kids are here but they’re gone with Juan's kids down the street so that’s wonderful. But I’m still not sure what I should be working on. It feels like I should get into my office and edit some things.
Start In the Word! 8:13:47 7/21/2026 now after the Society of Saint Joseph where we saw a video of the story of Abraham who would always do God's Will, but would plan his own "insurance." Which was really not fully in Trust and Faith.
What about his is so strong for you now.I'm alway listening and following in the Word, but know that the challenges before me are about stepping into the places that You open for me and what this means is to have deeper Faith and Trust in each step that I take. I also know that one day to the next I have different opportunities and different tasks to do. My SEEL class is really intense as it's really on point with what has happened to me RIGHT NOW.
Why is this intense, haven't you been down this road before?I guess so, but Your actions and presence has become so much stronger and clearer these last few weeks . . . And this brings me insecurity about what I do and what I need to do.
We have given you so very much grace and direction all the time, you are in the right place at the right time to bring so much forward that you have seen and understood all your life. Even today as you stepped forward to do as inspired, you were able to arrive on time, walk in as a guest, and speak with the leadership you needed to reach. Everything exactly as necessary for the next place and action you require.I get it. And I really try to keep moving forward and not fear or slow down . . . It's always a challenge and I‘m always ready to step forward and accept the tasks and challenges as they are before me. Please dear Jesus fill me with your spirit to I may speak and act as a living example of God's will in action today.
What do you feel now reading this again.
What you need to understand now, is that Abraham had a very strong direct experience while you are getting the whispers like Elijah. And you have given everything. You gave up your life, you gave up your children, you gave up your family. And you never had insurance. You have been given so much that you never asked for.
What You have before you, is very clear and very focused. Understand that you are in the right place at the right time and it’s always gonna be that way. You have worked really hard to get to this point and you don’t even understand how deep and powerful this point is. Just like giving up your life, and your mom, and your children, these are really powerful experiences that many don’t even survive. Remarkable as it may seem, you would do it again and you wouldn’t hesitate. This is part of who you are. That is a very powerful and significant development. The power and vibration that you are able to shift is simply beyond what most people could even understand. In fact, you don’t have a clue.
What did she share?
What
- The silent cooperation: God uses the physical world as a chain of giving, where soil, rain, and sun work together without pausing to yield your daily bread.
- The creatures as servants: Animals and plants fulfill their created purposes, providing beauty, balance, and material support for human life.
- The personal nearness: As the mystic Meister Eckhart noted, every single creature is full of God and acts as a living word or book speaking directly to your soul. [14]
- In the small things: Tending to a garden, watching an animal, or eating a meal reveals the ongoing, patient labor of the Creator.
- In active partnership: You join in this divine work when you care for the earth and use its gifts with a grateful heart. [2, 15, 16, 17]
1. The Core Dynamic: God as the Active Worker
- The Laborer Motif: Ignatius writes that God "acts in the manner of one who is laboring" inside the elements, plants, and animals. [1, 5]
- Continuous Animation: God does not simply spark creation and leave; He continuously exerts divine energy to keep the universe from collapsing into nothingness. [1, 7]
- Practical Immanence: Divine love is translated into concrete utility—the sun burning to give heat, the soil processing nutrients, and water cycling to quench your thirst. [5]
2. The Great Ladder of Divine Labor
- In the Elements: God labors to give raw existence (being) to rocks, water, and air.
- In the Plants: God actively pushes upward, laboring in the growth and vegetation of fruits and flora.
- In the Animals: God works through instinct, providing creatures with sensation and movement.
- In Humanity: God labors at the peak tier, giving humanity understanding and making a living temple out of your very soul. [8, 9]
3. The Shift in Perspective (The Grace Sought)
- From Resources to Relics: You stop looking at timber, rain, or food as mere commodities; they become tangible evidence of God working a shift on your behalf. [1]
- Antidote to Entitlement: Recognizing this immense, unceasing labor sparks profound humility, reminding you that your survival is a gift daily manufactured by God. [5, 10]
- The Ultimate Response: Seeing God exhaustively laboring for you naturally demands a response of mutual action, leading directly to the famous Suscipe prayer: "Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty...". [11, 12]
- Provide the exact text of the Suscipe prayer that concludes this specific meditation
- Walk you through a 5-step Ignatian Examen centered on tracking God's labor in your day today
- Outline what the remaining days of Week 28 cover in the Contemplation to Attain Love [2, 3, 12, 13, 14]
1. Become Aware of God’s Presence
- The Concept: Transition from your busy day into quiet reflection.
- The Focus: Remind yourself that you do not have to search for a distant God. He is already here, actively sustaining the very breath in your lungs and the chair beneath you.
- Action: Take three deep breaths, acknowledging that the air you breathe is God's immediate gift to you in this exact second.
2. Give Thanks for the Day's Labors
- The Concept: Review your day specifically looking for where creation worked on your behalf.
- The Focus: Scan your morning, afternoon, and evening. Where did God "roll up His sleeves" for you?
- Action: Thank God for concrete things: the sun providing light, the farmer and soil that produced your lunch, the electricity powering your tools, or a pet that offered comfort.
3. Examine Your Responses to His Work
- The Concept: Reflect on how you interacted with God’s labor throughout the day.
- The Focus: Notice your mindset toward the world around you.
- Action: Ask yourself honestly: Did I treat creation as a mindless commodity, or did I see it as a gift? Did I notice God working through the kindness of a coworker or the patience of a stranger? Did I fight against reality, or cooperate with it?
4. Ask for Forgiveness and Healing
- The Concept: Bring your moments of blindness or entitlement to God.
- The Focus: Address the times you took His constant labor for granted or misused the gifts of creation.
- Action: Gently acknowledge any moments of greed, wastefulness, or irritability today. Express your desire to be more mindful, and ask God to heal any exhaustion that kept you from seeing His love at work.
5. Look Ahead to Tomorrow’s Cooperation
- The Concept: Prepare to step back into the world as a co-laborer with God.
- The Focus: Anticipate the demands of tomorrow and choose to meet God in them.
- Action: Think about your schedule for tomorrow. Ask God for the grace to see Him laboring in your specific tasks, your meals, and your relationships. Conclude by resolving to match His labor with your own love and service.
- Help you script a personal prayer to close this Examen
- Provide a printable or copyable version of these steps to keep on your phone or desk
- Explain how this Examen connects to the Ignatian concept of being a "contemplative in action" [3, 4, 5]
