Making Our Devotionals PERSONAL

MAKING OUR DEVOTIONS PERSONAL

By now, every one of us (who are Paulines) should habitually address the Lord as "Jesus MASTER". It sets us apart as belonging not to one more spiritual group for the laity but to a UNIQUE  group. If you would like a clearer explanation on this point, kindly ask for the booklet GOD'S GIFT TO YOU. 

But we can go even further and make EVERY prayer for others a "Pauline" one. For example, John is misbehaving and you pray for him saying:

"Jesus Master, the TRUTH, show John what to do

Jesus Master, the WAY, show John how to do it.

Jesus Master, the LIFE, give him the strength to do it."

or perhaps more frequently:

"Jesus Master, the TRUTH, show me what to do

Jesus Master, the WAY, show me how to do it.

Jesus Master, the LIFE, give me the strength to do it."

 

Incorporating the Pauline spirit in our everyday lives in this way will bring great satisfaction.
