For what moment today am I most grateful?

For what moment today am I least grateful?

When today did I have the greatest sense of belonging to myself, to others, to God?

When did I have the least sense of belonging?

When did I give and receive the most love today?

When did I give and receive the least love today?

How was I most aware of grace in my life today?

How was I least aware of grace in my life today?

Here is the prayer:

 

Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my whole will, all that I have and all that I possess. You gave it all to me, Lord; I give it all back to you.

-       Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
