Opening the Heart

Lord, open my heart this weekend...

To purity of heart
To humility
To patience
To freedom from judgment
To being fully present in the experience
To centering in prayer
To spiritual growth
To being of service
To rejoicing in God's beauty
To discerning Truth
To honest conversations
To loving everyone I meet
To loving deeply
To receiving God's love and grace
To casting off fears and expectations
To moving towards greater clarity and certitude

Wow! Setting intentions really works!

does it? that's amazing. but it comes down to the same thing - 1. setting goals for ourselves of who we wish to be, and 2. finding it in ourselves to be that person (as dubois put it).

i pray that we never stop trying...

The intention setting definitely worked on this occasion. This act of purifying my heart before attending this event really helped keep me open to the entire experience.
