[Cursillo] Spiritual Aids List

[AnneAbdy at aol.com]

Dear all:
 
Thank you for the help with my prayer table. Those students in attendance  
with pretty excited to see the list as they realized that a lot of what  
Spiritual Directors do will be to guide Directees towards a closeness with  their 
God. I thought I would share with you the list of spiritual aids that  you use to 
help you stay connect with our Lord.

Suggested Rule of Life  Activities 
    *   Read readings from  different Biblical translations  
    *   Whenever I need strength in prayer, I  hum and sing "Jesus, remember 
me ... when You come into your kingdom" and sing  it again and again, quietly 
or loudly, or just in my head. I sing it until I  hear the harmonies of other 
voices in my heart, then I can pray with focus.   
    *   The Forward Day by Day as often as I  remember -- looking up the 
verses keeps me accountable.
