• During the 3rd Week I discovered that– I am called to a whole hearted
and life long commitment to Jesus by
• Surrendering all of my fears and pains to Jesus (I am not as strong as I think I am and I need Jesus’ help to do this)
• Taking up and embracing the cross (I must learn to die to self rather than pursuing my own selfish desires)
• Slowing down and living in the present (I live life at too fast of a pace)

Spiritual Exercise PresentationMr. Borrow
• The Spiritual Exercises allowed me to experience in a very personal way God’s love and commitment to me. I felt free to respond generously with a total commitment of myself to Jesus and to proclaim His message
• To do so, I must slow down and let Jesus lead my life. This takes a lot of trust and that can be difficult for me. Gradually, Jesus showed me that I can trust Him and allow Him to lead. I felt strengthened to do whatever Jesus asks
• The following song helps to remind me to trust Jesus no matter what

• Never knew I could feel like thisLike I've never seen the sky beforeWant to vanish inside your kissEveryday I love you more and moreListen to my heart, can you hear it singsTelling me to give you everythingSeasons may change winter to springBut I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what mayI will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect placeSuddenly it moves with such a perfect graceSuddenly my life doesn't seem such a wasteIt all revolves around you
