1. Introduction
2. Abiding Together
   1. After we receive Holy Communion it is the best time to abide with Jesus in personal prayer with Jesus in THE Heart (both from the heart and really He is one with us)
   2. Jesus sits in victory, and we sit with Him (cf Lk 22: 28-30)
      1. We’ve hopefully spent ourselves over the course of the week being the mouth, hands, and feet of Jesus and ‘are those who have continued with Him in the trials)
      2. We’ve eaten and drunk with the Lord Jesus at table

• Now we sit to set things right (to judge). Sitting here is not done out of lazyiness but a symbol of the co-missioning because of what comes next. (Blake used to think it was holier to kneel until the final prayer but my attitude has changed)

• Go in peace as “The Great Permission”
  1. Bishop Barron homily about Genesis and God’s permission to everything in the garden except what brings death
  2. Go and have life and share it
  3. So opposed to “ugh, God demands all these things and prohibits all these things.”

1. Quote from Mother Mary Francis book that was a good challenge for Sr. Fiat Marie
   1. What have you done with your vocation? (not accusation or judgement)
   2. What have you done with your baptismal promises? With forgiveness? With the Eucharist? With Confirmation?
      1. Not that WE DO IT ALL
      2. Have we entrusted our life to that grace or is it MY life and MY plans
   3. Trust in God’s providence as He sends you out and be open to grace and following where He calls.
2. Lower nets challenge: Make attending at least one daily Mass as a family a habit
