Right here at the threshold of Lent I want to get rid of the idea that it is up to me to convince God to love me. He is trying to convince ME to let him take over my heart and transform my desires and surrender myself entirely to his tender power.
“Give Me the joy of helping and transforming you. Surrender everything. Let yourself go. Tell Me often about your great longing. Do you think I could resist? That would be to misunderstand Me. If you are generous, how much more am I. You know the violent wind? The bird of prey? I too carry off. I am the Ravisher. Don’t struggle. And because you let yourself be taken captive, I’ll bring you into My secret garden among the flowers and fruit. You will wear the wedding ring on your finger. Your step will be in tune with Mine, and I’ll stoop down to your littleness so that we may talk together easily. How beautiful it will be like that My friend, My little soul.”

Touching the Sunrise 
Sister Kathryn,
As I was reading this passage, I was thinking is this from He and I? Yes! I reached the bottom of the page❤️ is there a prayer cenacle that I can participate in? May you lead?
The title, Touching the Sunrise is beautiful, as if it came from the pages of He and I. Capital I needs to be written in lower i. He and i.
God bless you, Sister Kathryn.

Thank you for your comments. The closest think I have to a “prayer cenacle” is the HeartWork program which includes conferences and a group meeting once a month. You can find that here: https://touchingthesunrise.com/heartwork/
