Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will.Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all.

Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures.I wish no more than this, O Lord. 

Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,

for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve,

and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father. “Prayer of Abandonment” by Charles de Foucald

Thursday

The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, “Here I am.” (1 Samuel 3:4)

Do you recall a time when you felt called by God to do something? Describe that…

Read 1 Samuel 1-3. How would you describe the story of Samuel and Hannah to a friend? (Sad, joyful, challenging?)

How can you/do you say “yes” to God each day?

Pray today to notice God’s call for your life.

Friday Morning Theme: Mary’s Call Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your

word.” (Luke 1: 38)

What did you hear about Mary’s call and her response?

What similarities are there between Mary’s Magnificat and Hannah’s prayer?

Saturday Evening: Conference Liturgy

The Solemnity Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Today’s Gospel:Pilate said to Jesus,"Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your ownor have others told you about me?" Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world.If my kingdom did belong to this world,my attendants would be fightingto keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here." So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world,to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." (John 18: 33 – 37)

What do you learn about Jesus’ call from this reading?

Friday Evening Theme: Jesus’ Call“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” { } Withdrawing a second time, he prayed again, “My Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!”’ (Matthew 26: 36, 42)

Have you ever paused to consider that Jesus responded to a call by God? What do you think about that?

What do the stories of Samuel, Mary and Jesus have in common? How would you describe them?

Pray today for anyone struggling to follow Christ, and pray for strength to continue to

accept your “cup.” 4

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?”

“Here I am,” I said; “send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)How do people see Christ when they look at you?

Are there any ways you can better share Christ with others?

Note any special learnings from breakout sessions:

Pray today for an opportunity to share
