Prayer for Passionist Retreatants
Jesus, you invited the apostles to come away with you to a deserted place and rest a while. As Your disciple, enable me to experience You on retreat — your suffering love and tender compassion. May I come to better know myself, to draw closer to you, and to thus be of better service to my brothers and sisters in the Church. Help me to listen attentively, to ponder prayerfully, to respond generously, and to benefit from the solitude and peace. Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Sorrows, may I go forth from my retreat as a deeply committed Christian, better able to follow Your footsteps in all the opportunities and challenges of life. Amen.
