Exercice

II Cor. 12:5-10 (Power in weakness)
Suggestion
for a repetitive prayer:
O,
God, come to my aid, Lord, hurry to help me,
-
1. that
in the flood of tasks I practice looking at you in order that I learn moderation
and discernment (what is important or unimportant) ...
-
2. that
I practice seeing my limits and accept them as your will...
-
3. that
I practice opening myself to your grace (to the extent of my ability) which
is powerful in weakness...
-
4. that
I practice accepting even the state of total exhaustion as a state of emptiness
that makes me receptive to your fullness...
-
5. that
I practice giving praise and thanks also in times of excessive demands
and exhaustion so that in looking at you I release myself more and
more ...
Lord,
Jesus Christ whose food it was to do the will of the Father have mercy
on me...
Prayer
of loving attentiveness:
My
limits are the "barriers" behind which God waits for me. I offer
my tiredness and weakness to God. Fill me with your power...
