Day 1
ON THE PATH TO MEETING GOD
‘‘INVITING PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE GOD’’
(Henri Caffarel)
Once you have looked at the video, you can take some time for interior prayer, before ending with Father Caffarel’s prayer.
I come before you God, my God, my Father.
Father of immense majesty,
Father of infinite tenderness,
Seize me with your two hands:
Your Son and Your Spirit.
May your Son bind me closely to himself
And may his embrace never loosen.
May your Holy Spirit shape me in the likeness
of Jesus Christ, your beloved child,
infuse me with his filial tenderness towards you,
Impatient for your glory.
Just as a father on earth bends down,
takes his little boy
and holds him up at arm’s length
so, you, Most Holy Father, seize me with your two hands
And place a kiss on my forehead.
Father Caffarel
For all the Team members who are following this Novena, may this time be a privileged opportunity for each of us to meet You. Lord, we pray.
