Day 4: Confirmation Retreat

Day Four

FIRST MOVEMENT

Placing  yourself in the presence of the Lord. 

  • Find a quiet place where your altar is and silence your phone.
  • Take a deep breath.
  • Focus on one of the items in your altar as you listen to the song.

Listen to this Praise and Worship Song and pay attention to the words.  Make it a prayer from your heart.

  • Make the Sign of the Cross and pray this prayer below or a prayer in your own words asking for the Holy Spirit to come into your life:

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord,   Amen.

FIFTH MOVEMENT

  • Finish by praying to God to give you the strength to see your giftedness.  Many times we are afraid to let others see what we are capable of doing.  
  • It can be a simple prayer: Start by making the Sign of the Cross and saying something like this in your own words:
  • God help me not to be afraid of letting my light shine.  Let me also be mindful of the gifts of others and encourage them in their lives.
  • Finish by making the Sign of the Cross, praying the Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.  Make the sign of the Cross to finish your prayer.
