St. Teresa of Avila called mental prayer 'nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.' There is no scene to enter and nothing to perform: read a little of today's Gospel, turn it over, speak honestly, rest, and leave with one small resolution.

Today’s Gospel
John 6:37-40
Jesus said to the crowds: “Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day.
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.”
What did you say to Jesus — and what small resolution are you carrying into today?
