Jesus Comes into my Life
Meditations translated from the book
"Pray with your Heart"
by Father Slavko Barbaric, of Medjugorje
My God and My Lord, I fervently wish to dedicate these moments of my life to you. Calm my heart. Help me abandon myself entirely to you. Don't allow my words to be empty ones. Let each one I pronounce bring me one step closer to You. Enlighten my mind and open my heart so that Your Word can grow in me like a seed of faith, hope and love. May it grow in me as it grew in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one She - humbly - became the Lord's slave. Help me give myself to You too, and become your faithful slave. I believe in You, Father, and in Your Son and in the Holy Spirit, Amen.
