Something to think and pray about this week:
Have you ever prepared to meet somebody who mattered a lot to you?
You reach the door of the room where your friend is waiting, and pause before opening the door. Saint Ignatius suggests this picture as a preparation for prayer.
Gather yourself, with your hand on the door-knob, and think:
Something important is about to happen to me.
Somebody important is waiting for me.
I am walking onto Holy Ground, stepping into Sacred Space, going to meet the Lord of my life, the one whose name is I AM.
I am preparing to invite God to deal with me, to speak to my heart.
I will be receptive.
I do not know what words to say, what thoughts to think, so I trust in the Holy Spirit, who will teach me from the inside.
In that mood of confidence I open the door, to find God looking at me...
