July 23 Prayer

July 23 Prayer

As branches we are attached to the great vine.
Jesus the vine of purity, peace and truth.
Every virtue we desire to have is found here on the vine.
Every grace, every joy and desire met is here on the vine.

When I become detached Is when I feel lost, lonely, shamed by my own wandering away from my better self.
I become detached from others who love me
when they disappoint me and I fall into judging them.

I become detached when God seems so far away and I feel nothing.

Everything we need is on the vine.
Jesus tells us to remain
and he will remove what doesn’t bear fruit in us.

Let us come to the vine and receive every grace we need to strengthen us today and renew our attachment to him.

Breathe deeply here on the vine,
Praying,

Lord fill me again with your life flow.
Fill me once again with your spirit of peace.
Fill me again with everything you desire to give me today.

May I become more aware of how close you are to me,
With every breath and every word spoken,
for you are in me.

Let me return to the vine of connection
and cling to your heart there.

Amen
John 15:1-8
