Litany of Trust • 30-Day Retreat
I started praying the Litany of Trust; a powerful prayer similar to the Litany of Humility but… uplifting and hopeful. They are both beautiful in their own right but the Litany of Trust is just hitting my heart in a different way.
Recently, I found the companion book, Jesus, I Trust in You: A 30-Day Retreat, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., the author of the prayer.
Guys, I’m blown away by the simple but deep reflections which offer practical applications for daily life!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve picked up so many books on spirituality. They all impart great wisdom: how to grow in prayer, how to develop a relationship with Jesus, how to live the life of a saint, etc.
Even with the best of intentions I get a few pages in and then drop it, not out of disinterest, but the language somehow doesn’t speak to me or the concepts seem out of reach.
This book is not that.
Each chapter is dedicated to one day of the retreat which focuses on a single phrase, or petition, from the Litany of Trust. The author presents the petition from two different angles:
Usually a cool story from a saint and
Sacred Scripture.
Each chapter ends with “Invitations” to go deeper. These “Invitations” include 3 different challenges for reflection & action. They also pose questions for prayer and meditation; great fodder for journalling.
I found this book so easy to understand and applicable to the average person’s daily struggles. It’s been so profound I had to share it with you.
With all this in mind… watch for a new series on this blog coming soon, OCTOBER 1!
And, if you’d like to enter into the retreat with me, below is a link to the book. I make no money on any purchases through the link – it’s simply to share the experience with you!
