Silent Retreat III - What do I desire from God?

While every year the silent retreat experience is different there are some similarities. One common occurrence is that each retreat starts with the participants sharing what they desire to receive from God. My spoken desire for the weekend was the grace to “trust myself; to trust the Spirit working in and through me.” My spiritual director affirmed that my DESIRE for God, is his HOPE for me. The Spirit and I are in agreement. We are working towards the same thing. God is giving me the desires of my heart.
